After broiling that tough old rooster, Governor J. Bracken Lee. in Utah's Republican gubernatorial primary, G.O.P. Nominee George Clyde seemed to have a tender pigeon in Democratic Candidate Lorenzo Clark Romney. But last week Bracken Lee, who still has a dedicated personal following, announced his candidacy as a write-in independent, a move sure to cut into Clyde's Republican vote next month.

A Highland chief, when entertaining him, gave the command: "Bonnets off to Sir Henry Raeburn." To his studio in a steady procession came such famed countrymen as Diarist James Boswell, Economist Adam Smith, Philosopher David Hume and Novelist Sir Walter Scott. With complete self-assurance Raeburn painted them...
