...special radiance and precision. In Paris Through the Window, 1913, we enter a rainbow world, all prismatic light and jingling crystalline triangles. It is full of emblems of stringent modernity: the Eiffel Tower, a parachutist, a train upside-down but still insouciantly chuffing. It owes a lot to his friend Robert Delaunay, who made abstractions of Paris windows.

But Editor Jim Squires is a close friend of Gore's and talks with him regularly. The relationship dates back to the early 1970s, when Gore worked for Squires as a cub reporter on the Nashville Tennessean. The top editors of the Atlanta Constitution and Orlando Sentinel also worked with Gore in Nashville, and both papers likewise endorsed...
