...seems to thaw out in her husband's presence, and there is sweetness in their silent campaign interplay. Coming off the campaign plane two weeks ago in Birmingham, Alabama, she grabbed his arm and made him gaze for a moment at the spectacular red sunset on the horizon. At the end of a long day, she kneads his shoulders, rubs his arm in encouragement, shoots him a supportive smile. Dole, the good Midwesterner, is allergic to public displays of affection--except from his Elizabeth. They seem to share a secret code of gestures: Elizabeth pats him on the lower back...

...loathed the fragmentation of Picasso's work and had no taste for the open, pieced-together asymmetry of Constructivism. Form for him is always closed and unitary, though different forms could be added to one another to make a whole, as in the interplay between sculpture and base. And he especially loved form that spoke of life or awareness at their origins: primal, self-enclosed, a marble egg floating in its own space like a cell, an egglike head lying on its side, filled with what the poet Octavio Paz called "the dreams of undreaming stone...
