...Life Insurance in Manhattan, marks "the end of an era. Everybody is agreed that this cannot happen again, that the public interest is the paramount interest, and that irresponsible private power is an intolerable danger to our beleaguered society."

Four seasons ago they began quietly showing up in the wooden stands behind Natchez (Miss.) High School, and strolling with practiced nonchalance across the field after the game to introduce themselves to the kid with the whiplash passing arm.

...materials, which he assembles elaborately. Paolozzi begins by pressing his bits of industrial detritus into soft clay, which he then fills with soft wax. Then he combines hundreds of small wax forms to build up his figures. A cogwheel may do for a navel, a phonograph pickup for an arm. Finally cast in bronze, they become mysterious idols of fusion and confusion. Explains Paolozzi: "My occupation can be described as the erection of hollow gods with the head like an eye, the center part like a retina . . . the legs as decorated columns or towers, the torso like a tornado-struck...
