...nonstarter. And in all those thousands of works, to which Klee gave code numbers indicating their date and price range and his opinion of their quality, there is hardly one that has any discernible sexual content at all, no secret genitals or nipples that even the dirtiest-minded brat could ferret out. This has always helped to make him a great favorite with worried modernist parents and ensured that reproductions of his work, such as They're Biting, 1920, outnumber even those of Rousseau's jungle scenes in the nurseries of the West as unbudgeable classics of childhood...

A former local TV reporter, she has a keen sense for the American vernacular, and she channels it directly into Bush's mouth. In February, when speechwriter Michael Gerson wrote an elegant, ornate script for the President's first address to Congress, Hughes marveled at its beauty--and then rewrote most of it in the plain language the President...
