BISHOP JOSEPH KIWANUKA, of Masaka in Uganda, was consecrated at Rome in 1939, the first native African bishop of modern times. Swirling round his diocese in a 1956 Chevrolet and a cloud of dust.

"The bad artist seems to copy a great deal," he wrote. "The good one really does." Instead of the common modern view that painting ought...
...between Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Last week, weary of sitting on a fortune that was doing nobody any good, the foundation's trustees filed a brief with the legislature, asked that they be allowed to use the money to extend the institute and thus help the modern version of the young artificer that Franklin originally had in mind. The amount involved...
