Although most political observers expect Howe to make a very strong showing in Somerville, Truesdell said Vellucci's support outside of Cambridge is underestimated. Indeed, he has picked up the endorsement of Somerville Mayor Eugen Brune...
...their shoulders. Some were raised in the divided city; others had been drawn there by the Free University or, more generally, by the anarchic and utopian Bohemia of the '60s: the Fluxus group and its best-known member, Joseph Beuys, with his shaman's wands and dead hares; Eugen Schonebeck, with his images of mutants and cripples; K.H. Hodicke, who made fervently swiped homages to Max Beckmann; and Georg Baselitz, creator of clumsy, wistful figures stumbling about in an apocalyptic landscape...
...this point, the show plunges off into the badlands of promotion. It contains things one is glad to see--the antic, sardonic imagination of Sigmar Polke, for instance, which has been reprocessed by squads of younger artists from David Salle to Jiri Dokoupil; or the blunt, strong images of Eugen Schonebeck, who abruptly gave up painting at the age of 30, in 1966.

...When Eugen Meyer, a Wall Street financier, bought the Post in 1933 for $800,000, the population of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., was about 650,000. Forty five years later, when The Pillars of the Post ends, the population is about 3.1 million. And the make-up of the population, and that of the surrounding suburbs, is a newspaper publisher's dream. Once a sleepy, sort-of-Southern, closes-at-six town, Washington grew to an enormous and affluentmetropolis. Its slums remain vast and the poverty within them intractable, but in the areas that matter to a newspaper publisher, Washington...
