Norman Rockwell at 80 Still Painting Bold Portraits
Norman Rockwell, turning 80 Sunday, works seven days a week at his Stockbridge studio. He says he is a hack illustrator who commands high prices and continues to tackle portraits of the rich, famous, poor, and forgotten, including a multi racial scene with an American flag backdrop. He aims to stay productive and active in town life, cycling with his wife Molly in good weather and hoping to keep creating until he dies.

Drinan should disqualify himself from impeachment deliberations, says John McLaughlin the only Jesuit priest on Nixon’s staff. McLaughlin argues a fair trial requires the congressman to step aside while Drinan asserts his impartiality and defends the process amid party criticism.

Peace Meeting Dividing Arabs
Palestinian guerrilla leaders argue over attending Geneva peace talks fearing a Arab Israel settlement would betray their cause. Arafat, named PLO representative, faces criticism from factions like Saiqa, Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine, and Popular Front General Command for being too aligned with Sadat. Some call for attending to secure concessions, others push continued armed struggle, with fears that Geneva could mean surrender of lands occupied in 1948.
