...gained a national reputation as the first Watergate special prosecutor, will "serve in a senior consulting capacity" to the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes, Thomas Tureen, the NARF attorney coordinating the Maine Indians' legal team, said yesterday. Cox's duties will include all litigation and dealings with the federal government and the state of Maine, Tureen added...
...more fragile than an artist's reputation. Names like Anne Vallayer-Coster, Sofonisba Anguissola, Judith Leyster or Louise Moillon are scarcely commonplace. Yet the quality of their work is incontestable: Vallayer-Coster's The White Soup Bowl (1771), with its beautifully rendered planes and rotundities of steaming tureen and crinkled napkin, comes close to Chardin in reverent and cadenced description of commonplace things. To see such works resurrected in this show-however few the samples-gives a shock of belated recognition: How can such talent have nearly disappeared...
...Thomas Tureen, lawyer for the Penobscots and the Passamaquoddies, said last month that the Indians had more in mind when they filed the suit than to recover overdue rent. The Indians own the land outright, he contended, and he plans to sue for the acreage itself--perhaps in the form of forested land and land held by out-of-state corporations--if his clients give him the go-ahead.

In 1971, with Tureen's help, the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes set out to sue the state, claiming title to 12.5 million acres-two-thirds of Maine. The estimated value of the property, which the Indians...
Indian Offensive. Aroused by the possibilities of victory, other tribes are besieging Tureen with their demands. His eight pending suits now include the Oneida claim to 300,000 acres in New York State, the Narraganset claim to 3,200 acres in Rhode Island and the Western Pequot claim to 800 acres in Connecticut. Says Tureen, who lives in a farmhouse outside Calais, Me., but flies about new England in his own Cessna: "It's their land. Legally it's theirs, and they can have it back...
