...that were given to me," the late David Smith once said. The brawny, Indiana-born metal worker was perhaps the most restless as well as the most gifted sculptor of an impatient nation and century. For 25 years, he labored to populate the fields of his "sculpture farm" near Bolton Landing in upper New York State with a dozen different species of welded totems, signposts, sentinels and ti tans. He was still pursuing at least five different styles when the pickup truck he was driving veered off the road and he died...
Thomas Shaw, a Lutheran and Avalon's marketing director, piously posits that "religion is in such a state that people will welcome anything to get back to the Bible." Cadaco's executive vice president, Douglas Bolton, believes that "during times of national stress, there is an upsurge in quasi-religious activities." At any rate, the possibilities of additional religious games are intriguing. There might be Inquisition, for instance, in which the loser would go directly to hell and bypass purgatory. Or, in a more contemporary vein, there might be Vatican Council ("Don't Cross Ottaviani") or Encyclical...
...Even in those few districts where seats did change party hands, the results seemed to depend far more on individual personalities and local conditions than on broad national issues?Viet Nam, law and order, inflation, the Negro revolution and the white backlash.

In Missouri, Democrat James W. Symington, 41, handsome former chief of protocol for the U.S. State Department, took the suburban St. Louis County district that Republican Thomas Curtis left...
DAVID SMITH rejoiced in the clatter of the Iron Age. In his workshop at Bolton Landing, on Lake George in upstate New York, he welded junk steel and polished aluminum into powerful abstractions. Before he was killed in a car crash at the age of 59 in 1965, many critics considered him the most important sculptor working in America. Smith had rarely talked about his work in public, though he often scribbled his thoughts in his notebooks...
...Gerald Bolton, 35, has been in and out of insane asylums for 19 years. His hang-up is automobiles, and it has brought him a lot of trouble. In fact, in the gentle word of a psychiatrist, he "eloped" from one Washington, D.C., hospital at least three times to be with cars - cars that each time he stole and drove all over the country. In 1965, he was picked up for stealing yet another car. Gerald entered an insanity defense and was acquitted. Immediately after ward he was sent to a hospital for the in sane - as is anyone...
