...wall-sized photograph of the artist at work, looking uncomfortable in a suit coat and starched collar. Beyond is a gallery 40 feet long, for 135 of Russell's best paintings and sculptures from his earliest period up to his death in 1926: strictly realistic images of dust-churning buffalo herds and galloping Indian braves, rearing horses, squaws and cow pokes...
...knee of his racing-driver father, Antonio Ascari. Growing up, he raced anything he could get his hands on-spitting little motorbikes, stock Fiat sedans, then sporty, 150-m.p.h. Maseratis.

To the high-patrolling U.S. bombers, which scooped up samples of its fine dust, the radioactivity was obvious evidence of some kind of Russian atomic blast.

A tiny Class "O" (91 cu. in. of cylinder space, the smallest classification) Lakester buzzed along at 111.46 m.p.h., a bigger version got up to 188.08 m.p.h., a sleek streamliner with two V-8 engines churning 600 h.p. reached 255.41 m.p.h. By the time the Nationals were over, U.S. records in 15 classes had been smashed, and the hot-rodders were just getting started...
...dancing devils and elephant gods were not successful, and for years he barely kept alive. Sometimes he used his clothes for canvas-first smeared with cow dung to stiffen them, then whitewashed to make a painting surface. He mixed his own inexpensive paints, including such ingredients as rock dust, mud and lampblack...
