Nashville has won a lower-court reprieve from a busing program pending a Supreme Court decision on its constitutionality.

George Ill's wife, Charlotte of Mecklenburg requested a sketch of Florence's Uffizi Gallery from a compatriot named Johann Zoffany. The elegant composite result (see opposite page) displeased the Hanoverian monarchs because of the prominence it gave to visiting Englishmen, even though it reproduced more than a dozen masterpieces of Italian art.
