...formed by exuberant architectural students turned artists in Dresden in 1905 who called themselves Die Brücke (The Bridge) in the confident expectation that they would "attract all the revolutionary and surging elements."

Those whom the war did not kill, it maimed. Kirchner retired to a sanitarium in Switzerland, later committed suicide. George Grosz emerged from a military hospital for the insane with the horrors of trench warfare, which he painted with the richness of Rubens, burned into his memory.

As he tried to move in, Kirschner hit him several times with his elbow. Morris slapped at Kirschner's arm, accidentally knocking the baton out of his hand. From then on, the race was gravy. He passed to anchorman Dick Wharton thirty yards ahead of second place N.Y.U., Wharton eventually increasing the lead...
