...hard to see how so much territory could be better indicated on a small exhibition budget. Apart from the (necessarily small) paintings by Rubens himself, there are works by Jouvenet, De La Fosse, Boucher, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gericault and Delacroix, and as fine a group of Watteau crayon drawings as one could hope to see in any room...

...face was either covered with crayon scrawlings or splattered with mud. It was his rather startling way of telling voters that he was being unfairly tarred with Watergate by supporters of his opponent, Congressman William R. Roy, 48. Many viewers apparently agreed with the message, and Dole caught up with Roy in the polls. The spots, Roy grudgingly concedes, have "to a degree turned Dole into a Watergate martyr or hero...

Now this process of working from drawings into paintings was not much to the fore in abstract expressionism.

...content of the album isn't up to Monty Python's usual standards, the packaging is even better than the cover of the first album--which was an actual jacket for Beethoven's Seventh with the Brueghel print scratched out in black crayon and "Monty Python" scrawled across it. There really are two Side Twos on the second side of this new album, and you have to drop your needle down a few times at random to discover them. Once you've figured this out, though, the thrill is gone forever...
