Davis loathed American regionalism -Thomas Hart Benton with his buckeye Michelangelo plowboys, Grant Wood's Midwestern Arcadias.

...enjoy a banquet surrounded by starving people." It is difficult to believe that Jimmy Carter is not content in his way or that Jerry Brown isn't content in his world of Zen Buddhism and E.F. ("Small is Beautiful") Schumacher quotations, but it may well be true that Gary Hart is the only one among the prospective 1980 Democratic hopefuls who is discontented in the way in which was Hubert Humphrey.
