...price. Yet the Copley newspaper chain paid $2,650,000 for it last May, and Copley is not known for spending its money foolishly. The chain's 15 other papers are all well-established dailies in such cities as Joliet, Springfield and Elgin, ILL., and San Diego, San Pedro and Burbank, Calif.

Last Hope. The Maias is a social chronicle on the grand scale, a 633-page epic that depicts the decline of the illustrious house of Maia, and with it the degeneration of the Portuguese aristocracy. The decline reaches the critical stage when Pedro da Maia shoots himself because his wife has run off with another man and taken her small daughter along. Fortunately for the Maias, Pedro's absconding spouse has left a son behind, and Pedro's aged father undertakes to regenerate the family by nurturing its last hope...
