...slip worn by his Girl at Mirror, he could put white paint through as many adventures as Robert Ryman does in his snow-flurry abstractions. As for his pieties, they turn out sometimes to be the same ones fundamental to civil society. By nothing less than an actual vote among Post readers, Saying Grace was his most popular canvas. In a flyblown city restaurant, a boy and his grandmother bow their heads to pray while everybody else looks on. If the picture is about the secular world making space for the spiritual, which it plainly is, it's also about...
...Among critics and curators, the Rockwell show is now an occasion to announce themselves as Rockwell converts or as closet fans all along. Anytime the higher echelons of the culture industry set out to show how they're in touch with ordinary folks, they risk sounding like George Will when he writes about baseball.

Stein is not a performer by training. A fallen hippie Yale law graduate (with Hillary Clinton), Stein used his father's connections to get a job as a speechwriter for President Nixon (with Pat Buchanan, David Gergen and John McLaughlin), who was then under siege from, among others, Carl Bernstein, Stein's childhood next-door neighbor and Maryland public high school classmate (with Sylvester Stallone, Goldie Hawn and Connie Chung).

Without practical alternatives, women across America could be left without the affordable reproductive health care that is the most basic to women during their child-bearing years. ALEXANDER C. SANGER, PRESIDENT Planned Parenthood New York City...
CUTTHROAT In an effort to shut out unsportsmanlike taunting, the NFL sent letters to team owners last week banning the latest form of players' celebration--drawing a hand across the throat after stuffing the other team. The offending move, shown by the Packers' Brett Favre (1), among others, is hardly the first. Every few years, the league clamps down on what it considers over-the-top, nasty player displays. Here are a few of the infamous...
