...party. To the surprise of pundits and pollsters, the final tally last week handed victory not to the underdog who had pressed for the ballot by mail but to the elder statesman who would no doubt have been the first choice of M.P.s in a smoke-filled room. The winner was Roy Jenkins, 61, a venerable politician who served in several Labor Cabinets and as president of the Brussels-based European Commission before helping form the new centrist party last year...
...fighting continues, Defense Minister Garcia and Constituent Assembly President Roberto d'Aubuisson, the winner of the March elections, remain at odds over the country's course. In defiance of U.S. wishes, D'Aubuisson has tried to obstruct El Salvador's two-year-old land-reform program.

Sleek, vigorous, boldly plastic, it is a kind of message to portentous choreographers like Glen Tetley and Choo...
Hoban, an Irish-born architect who practiced in Charleston, S.C. and planned the South Carolina statehouse, was the winner of the 1792 design competition for the proposed new White House. One of those he triumphed over was Thomas Jefferson, who had submitted his entry anonymously. Hoban's vision of the President's house was influenced by one of the finest examples of the English Palladian style, the famous Dublin mansion of the Duke of Leinster...
