...between art and life." This, one wants to say, is the artist of American democracy, yearningly faithful to its clamor, its contradictions, its hope and its enormous demotic freedom, all of which find shape in his work.

It was Dodi as well, said Rees-Jones, who "changed the plan" and decided to send his regular chauffeur, Philippe Dourneau, and another driver off in two decoy vehicles while Paul whisked the couple away in a different car. Rees-Jones reiterated those statements last week, and fellow bodyguard Wingfield confirms that Dodi made...
