...chances are that as a man whose favorite painting is a Gainsborough, he would have recoiled from most of the choices. Although such top representational painters as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth sent comfortably realistic scenes to settle the eye, there was plenty else to make it boggle, from Barnett Newman's eccentric, hard-edge stripes in his Black Fire to Robert Rauschenberg's Trophy II, a pop art combine in four pieces equipped with a real glass of water on a shelf with a spoon kerplunk in it.

The stock villains, besides Policeman Connor, include Ross Barnett, "Mr. Woolworth" and, occasionally, John Kennedy.
