Irritating as De Gaulle's lordly disregard of alliance by committee might be, his partners were in no position to make the familiar argument from fear.

"As you grow older," Park said, "it dawns on you that you are yourself-that your job is not to force yourself into a style, but to do what you want." The result was to sire a new and on the whole gentler generation of San Francisco figure painters, most conspicuous of whom...
