...free-for-all headline row with his colleagues and the U.S. Senate. With a stubbornness new to Washington, Wilson fought the law which unequivocally required that he get rid of his 39,470 shares of General Motors stock before taking office. Cartoonists had a field day with his unruly grey thatch and his round, heavy-jowled face-which, at the time, generally bore an expression of outrage. From a public relations point of view, no U.S. Cabinet officer ever got off to a worse start. When Wilson, under an Eisenhower ultimatum, agreed to dispose of his stock, the Senate confirmed...

His materials are chunks of volcanic rock found in California's hills. He chisels a bosomy pouter pigeon from pitted grey pumice, uses polished quartzite for the silken feathers of a nesting woodcock, letting the shape of the stone suggest his forms. He chisels a fierce eagle, coldly eying the world, with a few simple curves; in his owls, a rough triangle of stone becomes a beak, a sharp shelf of rock becomes...
