...existence to the rhetoric of Saint-Gaudens' monument to Deacon Samuel Chapin in Springfield, Mass. His only nude female figure, the gilded sheet-copper Diana that he made as a weathervane figure for the top of Stanford White's original Madison Square Garden in 1891, slender as any mannerist charmer from Fontainebleau, became in a literal way the Golden Girl of the '90s in New York, as definitive a pinup as the Gibson Girl...

Arnold has a gift that cannot be acquired no matter how hard an athlete trains...

...Giovanni (played by professional actor Graham Wright), the suave charmer, seduces women both on- and off-stage with his rich voice. His interactions with his servant Leporello (professional actor Miles Rind) reveal the intimate comedy that occurs between two men who know each other all too well.
