Hilliard
British painter. Son of a goldsmith, he trained as a jeweler and began painting miniatures in his youth. In 1570 was appointed miniature painter to Elizabeth I. He produced many portraits of her and of such members of her court as F. Drake and W. Raleigh. He retained his appointment on the accession of James I (1603), while also practicing as a goldsmith and jeweler.

Sillitoe
English writer. The son of a tannery worker, he worked in factories from age 14. Many of his later novels and stories are brash and angry accounts of working-class life, beginning with his successful first novel, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958; film, 1960). Perhaps his best-known work is the title story in the collection The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (1959; film, 1962). His other works include the novels The Death of William Posters (1965), The Widower's Son (1976), and The Open Door (1989) and the story collections The Ragman's Daughter (1963; film, 1974) and Second Chance (1981).
Tillich
German-U.S. Protestant theologian. He studied at Berlin, T\u00fc bingen, and Halle and was a chaplain with the German army during World War I. He taught successively at Marburg, Dresden, and Frankfurt am Main. In 1933 the Nazi takeover prompted him to emigrate to the U.S. With the aid of R. Niebuhr, he joined the faculty of New York's Union Theological Seminary. He became respected for his lucid preaching and his Systematic Theology (3 vols., 1951-63). He moved to Harvard Univ. in 1955 and to the Univ. of Chicago in 1962. His theological system was an unusual combination of biblical, existentialist, and metaphysical elements, and he attempted to convey an understanding of God that depended neither on revelation nor on science. His other works include The Courage to Be (1952) and Dynamics of Faith (1957).
