Sleepy Magic. In both drawings and watercolors, Levine is that rare man among artists: one who does not deny his forebears. His caricatures, whether of Bertrand Russell looking like a stately pelican or D. H. Lawrence with two female legs kicking orgiastically from beneath his shaggy forelock, acknowledge their indebtedness to Sir John Tenniel and Sir Max Beerbohm. Much of Levine's bite and humor are caused by the juxtaposition of dated technique and contemporary subject. When it comes to watercolors, his style is equally traditional, and he finds it most unfair that critics who admire his caricatures turn...
...Watts the candidate was thumped, patted, jostled, and pushed by the smiling young Negroes who crowded around him, eager for a glimpse and a touch. Perspiring in the crush, he seemed as happy as they, interrupting the handshaking only long enough to brush away a wayward forelock that had tumbled over his eye. If the scene recalled one of Robert Kennedy's last visits to the black ghetto, it was not entirely an accident. Seemingly awakened from a trance by Kennedy's murder.

Brown insists that the main issue is Reagan's glaring inexperience in government. Reagan retorts that the main issue is the persistent bumbling of Brown...
...with F.D.R. The President's freewheeling economic policy offended Acheson's New England conservatism only slightly less than his flippant condescension to subordinates. "It is not gratifying," reports Acheson, "to receive the easy greeting which milord might give a promising stable boy and pull one's forelock in return." Pleading a desire for objectivity, he ends the memoir before his controversial years as President Truman's Secretary of State. From his earlier recollections he omits everything he considers "too unpleasant" or "too personal" to set down. In other words, all the interesting parts...
