He’s a man now; worldly good looks, superbly talented, strappingly self-assured, oxen-tough. But now is now and that was then. Then was his shy turn—nine years old, innocent, substantial (“well-fed,” he jokes), vaguely self-aware??the coincidental genesis of a baseball career. That, a foggy Los Angeles daydream, was when Schuyler Mann simply loved the game...
Another way of putting it is that Dewis’ performance is as good as Levy’s is ill-conceived. Her performance is hot-blooded, alert, thoroughly aware??and eminently unbelievable.

Kaplan himself sees his work as “content-loaded,” using it more as a form of criticism than as aesthetic expression. While the contemporary art scene is largely devoid of political content, his pieces...
