My anguished rationale for supporting the President -- oil, aggression and cynicism about sanctions -- turned into a footnote once Congress voted; what mattered was that at last proper constitutional norms had been followed. How easy it had been during Vietnam (a war mounted under the dubious fig leaf of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution) to reject personal complicity in the carnage. Blame, as I do, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger for the names on the wailing wall in Washington.

...satisfy art," one finds in Pousette-Dart's copious notes, cited in the catalog, "but art satisfies nature. Nature is dumb, while art is conscious, articulate, triumphant." This aesthete's idealism sounds unduly high flown. What abstract painting really rivals, in point of organization, the structure of a leaf? But what counts, in the end, is the paintings the idealism serves, and many of these are extraordinarily beautiful...
