...Died. Rene Robert Bouche, 57, brilliant Manhattan portraitist, Vogue illustrator, TIME cover artist (Jean Kerr, Sophia Loren, John F. and Edward Kennedy); of a heart attack; in Ling-field, England. A slight, wiry, cosmopolite (Czech-born, to a French father, Hungarian mother), Bouche studied in Munich and Paris, went through "all the isms-expressionism, surrealism, nonobjectivism"-before settling in New York in 1941 to find his real calling: chronicling "the quintessential people of our time" from Arp to Zeckendorf, and producing a gallery always elegant and sometimes profound-as when he painted Elsa Maxwell as a Velasquez court dwarf...

(See writings of Africans like Sarbrah, Hayford, Azikiwe; Negro Americans like DuBois, Delaney; the French West Indian Rene Maran). In the late 19th century educated Africans in West Africa were articulating such a position--often without having had direct contact with new World Negroes--and Negroes in the Caribbean and North America were doing likewise. More recently, Negro intellectuals in South America, the Caribbean, and Africa have formulated the idea...
Platinum-haired Rene Carpenter, 35, wife of Triple Orbiter Malcolm Scott Carpenter, lunching with a Rotary Club group in Austin, Texas, admitted some drawbacks to being a highly publicized astronaut's lady whose husband is "sealed up in that paperweight." However, added Rene, "we do no more than the wives of helicopter crews in Viet Nam or the women the Thresher left behind. They risked just as much and lost a great deal more. Don't feel sorry for us. It's great to whisper at liftoff, 'Don't look back-we're with...
