Geometry in the form of polygons is also the rule for Puerto Rico's only art museum. The island commonwealth, famed for frolic, sun and sugar, last week celebrated the opening of a $2,000,000 museum in Ponce, designed by Edward Durell Stone and almost entirely bankrolled by Industrialist Luis Ferré, who is a three-time loser in the island's gubernatorial elections. Seven skylighted interior galleries are hexagonal, juxtaposing art works that can be scanned in a single twirl...
...Ashe was accused of assaulting another sailor with a knife in Puerto Rico. Before they were jointly tried by a general court-martial, one of Ashe's two co-defendants told the Navy commander defending them that Ashe had been merely a bystander when the assault occurred.

Last week, forced to assume that the charge was true, Justice Wahl ordered Powell to pay Mrs. James $75,000 in compensatory and $500,000 in punitive damages. Summing up his opinion of Powell, Justice Wahl indignantly paraphrased a famous insult attributed to Virginia's 19th century Senator John Randolph: "He is a man of splendid abilities, but he shines...
