...evasion, Nevada Federal District Judge Harry Claiborne began serving a two-year sentence last month at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. The first sitting federal judge to be imprisoned, Claiborne, a Carter appointee, has refused to resign, continues to draw his $78,700 annual salary and could return to the bench as early as next year. New Jersey Democrat Peter Rodino, Judiciary Committee chairman, has introduced an impeachment resolution, which a subcommittee is now considering. The Constitution makes it difficult to remove any judge. If a House majority votes to impeach, action would move to the Senate, where Claiborne...
...author of poetry and fiction, one of Latin America's greatest writers; of liver cancer; in Geneva. Borges was an original: his poetry was somber and elegaic, his short stories at once fantastical and grittily realistic--most notably the mystery-like ''fictions,'' reminiscent of Kafka and Poe. The 1973 return of Dictator Juan Peron prompted him to resign as director of the National Library in his native Buenos Aires.

...testing the boosters vertically, for example, might require that two years and $20 million be devoted to building a structure that could securely hold the bottom of the 149-ft.-tall rockets some 80 ft. above the ground.

They did not know then, and do not know now, whether they will return home in months or years. Or ever. On this and the following pages, TIME publishes the first photographs to appear in the U.S. of the ruined nuclear plant, the cleanup operation and the surrounding countryside. One of the few Americans who have seen Pripyat is Dr. Robert Gale, a bone...
...reneging on a promised Denver appearance but then met him amicably in the White House and withdrew the accusation. Willke even read a greeting from Bush to the convention. The antiabortion positions of the prospective Republican candidates differ more in emphasis than substance. Robertson and Dole want to return to the pre- Roe status, letting each state decide what limitations to place on abortions; they assume that most will restrict them. Kemp backs an amendment that would permit abortions only in situations where childbirth endangered the life of the mother. Bush would add rape and incest to the circumstances under...
