David Looby sat on the veranda of his brown, one-story frame house on a humid Chicago night last week, and listened bitterly to a murmur of voices on the porch of Neighbor Mark Deady across the street. David Looby, 53, is an ordinary citizen, a stocky municipal electrical foreman who earns $650 a month and goes regularly to Sunday Mass at St. Margaret of Scotland Roman Catholic Church. But he nursed an extraordinary hatred for a clerk named Ralph Adams who had been courting 35-year-old Mary Deady for five years. Reason: Ralph Adams was in the habit...

He chose the instant when Firpo nailed the overconfident champion, sent him through the ropes and into the ringside seats. Children on the Porch, at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, shows Bellows on the opposite tack. His paints become lighter and clearer; the mood is one of quiet serenity on the sun porch of a summer home by the beach. In Bellows' untroubled canvas his little girls read and play dolls without...
