...fanned 11, he painted the corners and he only needed one defensive ace--Chuck Knoblauch's eighth-inning knockdown of a line drive--to unite 50,000 of the most ornery, unforgiving fans in baseball behind his cause...
...presidential campaign was a short-lived bust, Wilson is not taking himself out of the running for 2000. A high-profile role on 226 won't do him any harm with party conservatives. He's pushing hard, lobbying conservative donors in Washington and Republican Governors around the country. Chuck Mack, president of the Teamsters Local 70, calls 226 "the most serious attack on labor since they tried to turn California into a right-to-work state in 1958." The unions won that one, but at that time 40% of the state's work force was unionized. Now it's just...

...Chuck Close has to be the most methodical artist that ever lived in America. He goes at the canvas with all the afflatus of a silkworm eating its phlegmatic way across a mulberry leaf. His way of painting, once set up, becomes an effort of pure transcription that relocates the acts of imagination way back in the roots of its system, and spends months on it. Essentially, what he does is copy faces large from small photographs. "Large" means enormous--canvases 8 ft. or 9 ft. high, filled with the staring face of someone you probably don't know...
