...Their most startling achievement is to have made a successful color film about a man whose active political life was largely over before color photography came into general use. The black-and-whiteness of other historical documentaries distorts the visual history they are supposed to record: the human eye could see color in 1925, even if the movie camera could...
Other housewives might have taken up bridge, or begun an affair. Mrs. Eiseman turned out pinafores instead, gave them as gifts to children of friends. Husband Laurence (then head of a collection agency) looked at his wife's designs with a sharp, enthusiastic eye, and persuaded Chicago's Marshall Field & Co. to do the same.

But his private pleasures are elegantly expensive: salmon fishing in Scotland, cattle breeding on his 3,000-acre farm in Maryland, duck-shooting parties on the Chesapeake (he keeps his eye sharp on a pistol range in his basement). Copeland is also a gourmet and oenological expert who belongs to Le Tastevin, an exclusive society devoted to fine wines, and he employs a French chef who came to him from Lord Astor. He and his wife Pamela-their three children...
