...PORTLAND OREGONIAN : The election was a crazy quilt stitched on personalities and local issues. The Democratic-Labor coalition hit the question of unemployment with everything it had, tied it up with administration indifference to tax relief for working people and "giveaway" of natural resources.

His scores of "odalisques"-with a bosomy local girl posing amid a few harem props -were among his best-known pictures, not so much cheesecake as souffle, not so much woman's form as woman's charm...
