Died. Robert L. Conly, 55, senior assistant editor of the National Geographic magazine, who under the pen name Robert C. O'Brien wrote a prize-winning children's book (Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH) and last year's top-rated cloak-and-dagger tale for adults, A Report From Group 17; of a heart attack; in Washington...

Secret memos, classified documents, off-the-record exchanges-all have found their way into Anderson's hands and columns (TIME cover, April 3).

Made of wool at first, the chasuble-with the increasing availability of silk around the 10th and 11th centuries-gradually acquired a dazzling sumptuousness. The epitome of this was opus Anglicanum, or "English work," a taxingly intricate method of embroidery that flourished in London guild shops during the 13th and 14th centuries. The Met possesses one rare example, the so-called Chichester-Constable...
