Confides a former aide: "Jerry's been doing a lot of soul searching. He still thinks Carter has a limited, linear mind and that he won't be able to cope with most of the problems of the next four years. Jerry has his own credibility to worry about."

The work is active, not withdrawn, robust not tentative." These are also the marks of much European and nonblack American art, and this points to the difficulty of locating the work in an African matrix...
