...letters suggest a man for whom writing was less a habit than a need, like food and water, as though the very act shaped his thoughts as much as the thoughts shaped the writing. Reagan didn't type; he wrote by hand in blue or black ink on a yellow legal pad or dictated for his secretaries to transcribe, and so the drafts were often saved, stuffed into a box and then forgotten. In 1996 Kiron Skinner, now a professor at Carnegie Mellon, was researching a book on the end of the cold war when she stumbled on the first...
Here’s where the Democrats come in. When a government peddles fear, it’s up to the opposition to offer something better. As early as this fall, before the black ink has worn off the lettering on our ID cards, ten Democrats are asking for the support of young people like competing restaurateurs on a European city street. Each has a familiar and appetizing menu of red meat—class resentment for starters, some anti-administration anger, maybe a sweet life story for dessert. But the offerings so far lack what is most needed...
...Cosimo, all working during the late 15th century, when Florence blossomed in the humanist atmosphere of the Medici court before being swallowed up by the fire-and-brimstone fervor of the Dominican monk Savonarola. Along with several of Botticelli's delicate Madonnas, the show's highlights include a colored-ink Map of the Inferno illustration for Dante's The Divine Comedy, and St. Augustine in his cell, a fresco for Florence's Ognissanti church later transposed to canvas.

That's because Amis, 54, is one of Britain's best-known serious novelists - and thus one of the biggest targets in the literary field - and Yellow Dog is his first big novel since The Information, eight years ago. Beginning with The Rachel Papers in 1974, Amis' cold eye, slashing wit and verbal ferocity made...
...Quimby the Mouse" shows off some of his earliest experiments with it. Ware may be our most committed creator of comix as art. For one thing, he demands high production values for his books. The "Quimby" book must be the most gorgeous graphic novel ever published. It has gold ink embossed in the hardcover, with thick paper and an exquisite mix of color and black and white strips. The "Date Book" likewise has come out as a hardcover with top-notch production, including a placeholder ribbon. A tantalizing sketchbook page from 1995 contains a quote attributed to Goethe, "Architecture...
