...covered with posters. Boards and old newspapers litter the floor. In the back are tables lined with telephones; in the front is a press area with files and photographs of Lowenstein and his family. The ceiling looks like it leaks. A poster on the wall shows Humphrey saying, "Let's Stop Pretending that Mayor Daley Did Anything Wrong in Chicago." There are no HHH buttons in sight...
...moved into this new, rawly emotional phase? Poons imperturbably prefers to let his paintings speak for themselves, saying only, "It's curiosity that motivates me."

...analogies--curves and receptacles are womblike; steeples, shoes, and cylinders are phallic--lie physiological comparisons. They equate woman's mind with "her most definitive organ," according to Norman Mailer (one of Them), and just as the womb is conservative, nutritive, claustrophobic, feminine influence is antithetical to energy and thought.
