...Ulster Unionist Coalition caucused at Stormont. Among the subjects discussed was the convention's mandate: that some formula be found for power sharing acceptable both to Ulster's 1 million Protestants and 500,000 Catholics. In the caucus debates, William ("King Billy") Craig, leader of the militant Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party, emerged in the unlikely role of moderate. Long a hardliner, Craig now was urging that Catholic moderates be considered for Cabinet posts, though only on a temporary, emergency basis...
Gloomy Convention. Angry in defeat, Craig resigned his leadership of the Vanguard Party's contingent, objecting that the caucus had "slammed the door" on the Catholics of the Social Democratic and Labor Party (S.D.L.P.).

Over the years, his buildings have grown ever more intricate and idiosyncratic, taking odd, seemingly arbitrary shapes. But their genesis-profound thoughtfulness leavened by the free play of emotion-has never...
...manifesto flatly rejected as a model for Portugal a "socialist society of the East European type." Yet it warned that the country "will be fatally led" to precisely that model unless it rids itself of "a political leadership that obstinately believes that a vanguard with a very narrow social basis can make the revolution on behalf of all the people." This cannot be achieved, the document went on, "with the present leadership team, in view of its lack of credibility and manifest inability to govern...
