...least, black Democrats continue to demonstrate their customary party loyalty. When blacks supporting Jackson are asked if they would vote for another Democratic candidate in the fall, 89% say yes.

Few techniques could be less suited to depicting what is fugitive and mobile, like fire and smoke, than cutting silhouettes from roofing tar. Sultan leans toward the mummified sublime. His stage effects of glare and silhouette descend, remotely, from Turner. But he is so used to thinking in terms of figure and ground that he handles the transitions between them -- the midtones, the modulations of light -- clumsily...
