...Using a computer to write letters," says Ronald Coleman, a Mount Vernon, Ohio, maker of glass sculpture, "is like using a cannon to hunt rabbits." That may be so, but an awful lot of Americans are still taking that high- caliber approach to communication. An estimated 7.1 million personal computers were sold in the U.S. last year, almost every one capable of diverse tasks that range from preparing income-tax returns to managing the inventory of a small-to-medium-size business.

Benefiting most may be Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware. Like Cuomo, Biden is considered a powerful speaker, one who can inspire the emotions of party faithful who are left unmoved by Hart's more cerebral approach.

Hypocrisy was the order of the day. Thus Albert von Keller's lubricious portrait of a naked woman crucified bears the pious title Martyr, and all those nude beauties frolicking around that white-bearded codger represent Lovis Corinth's Temptation of Saint Anthony. Exotic suggestions of bestiality (as with Salammbo) provided another popular theme...
