...this year is different. After only 18 months in office, Chief Justice Rose Bird, the first woman ever put on the California high court, is in danger of becoming the first justice ever voted off it. Last week the state G.O.P. came out against her as "a serious threat to the California courts"; by November a coalition of Bird hunters will have spent upwards of $600,000 on a campaign to clip the judge's wings. Late last week, Bird's chances of hanging on improved somewhat when the State Supreme Court approved the constitutionality of Proposition 13, the highly...

Generally, whenever Egypt was expansive, Nubia was overwhelmed; when Egyptian power declined, Nubia rebounded. This it did in about 2000 B.C., when a new culture rose around the town of Kerma. In Brooklyn its manifestations are a score of objects found in the tombs of Kerma's warrior kings?circular mounds that were as much as 90 meters in diameter, complete with inner rooms containing everything that might be needed in the afterlife. (Domestic animals and the bodies of hundreds of servants were found in some of the tombs.) Just how sophisticated Kerma was is demonstrated in Brooklyn...
