Late at night, in his chartered Boeing 727, Bobby, 42, looks neither young nor beautiful. Deep lines mark the brow. Stumping in the sun has turned his nose pink; lack of sleep has dulled and reddened his eyes. The grey wires in his tawny hair grow more visible. How goes the race for the nomination? From behind his cigar: "It's silly to talk about that. It's like trying to gauge the outcome after the first five seconds of a minute-long contest...
...Poet William Cullen Bryant wrote in the 1870s of the tidy, tree-shaded town with its white clapboard houses: "Nowhere is decay or unwholesome poverty apparent."

"I don't know why," she says, laughing nervously, "but it was almost like a man violating a woman." She has since bought a large Morris for her garden...
...Reinhardt experimented with black on black. Latest and farthest-out researcher is Cali fornia's Robert Irwin, 39, who has developed pictures composed of light on light. Each painting consists of a white aluminum disk, sprayed at the edges with a subtle blush of blue, pink or grey. Mounted 15 or 20 inches from the wall, the disks are lit by four small spotlights, which cast phantasmal shadows on the wall behind...
