...intends to do more. A bill sponsored by Pepper and passed in 1978 eliminated any mandatory retirement age for most federal employees and raised it from 65 to 70 for workers in private industry. He has a new bill in the House hopper to remove any such age limits at all. "The only mandatory retirement," he says, "is when you can't do the work any more...

Soyer, on the other hand, chose a much more difficult situation to compose. He selected ten realist artists for his Homage, including Edward Hopper, Jack Levine, Leonard Baskin, Reginald Marsh and himself. Also portrayed was Soyer's twin brother Moses, a lesser-known painter who died in 1974. Most of these men had little or no connection with the long-dead artist being honored. As a result, the people in the picture are even more...
