...later with her first husband, a sculptor. She would be one of a growing number of artists - Susan Rothenberg, Philip Guston, Jennifer Bartlett were some others - who were looking for new ways to make painting a dynamic form again. In that search, Murray would turn out to be a brilliant synthesizer, blending influences from Stuart Davis, from Picasso and Miro, and from the comic strips she loved as a kid. She didn't care if her inspirations were high or low, so long as they got her where she wanted...
Back in 1998, It seemed crazy when Todd McFarlane - a brilliant but eccentric comic-book artist turned action-figure mogul - paid $3 million for the ball Mark McGwire hit for his then record-breaking 70th home run. It seemed even crazier when he paid about $500,000 for Barry Bonds's record-breaking 73rd home run ball in 2003.

Another advantage to waiting: the longer he remains an unofficial candidate, the longer NBC can air reruns of Law & Order featuring Thompson as Manhattan DA Arthur Branch without running afoul of the equal-time provision of federal campaign law. "His timing has been brilliant so far," insists Tennessee Congressman Zach Wamp, who led the effort to convince Thompson he should run. "While he's been waiting, some candidates have been falling and the others haven't been moving. Frankly, there's been a lot of advantages to [it]. He's probably gotten more attention...
