...view when his wartime diaries became the basis for The Turn of the Tide and Triumph in the West, in which he attacked virtually every top American (Ike: "no real commander"; Patton: "A character") and grandly regarded himself as the real architect of victory; of a heart attack; in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire...
...From Gilbert Stuart and John Singleton Copley to John Singer Sargent and George Bellows, from Maurice Prendergast and Childe Hassam to Georgia O'Keeffe and Edward Hopper, from Winslow Homer to John Marin to Andrew Wyeth-artists have taken inspiration from its cruel coasts and rugged landscapes.

The mission assigned to Morse by the President was to settle as quickly as possible the last remaining issue between the longshoremen and the shippers-a union demand for a wages-and-benefits package totaling 61? an hour over the next two years.
