Notwithstanding his man-of-distinction look, Joe Alsop is a journalist, and a good one. His political acumen (the result of well-applied apprentice years) and his writing (a clear cut above the loose or labored journalese of many colleagues) have earned him a reputation as one of the half-dozen best commentators...
Hollywood could never cast Columnist Joseph Wright Alsop Jr. in its stock role of the slouch-hatted, wisecracking newsman. He does not look the part, and he was not brought up to play it. Instead of the rough-&-tumble school of the police beat, he went to Groton and Harvard, where he wandered around with volumes of Proust and Joyce under his arm and thought politics beneath discussion.

Neptune is paired off with Gaea, who holds a quince -the symbol of marriage. Bacchus appears as a child, and his foster father Silenus looks more like a slender ascetic than a roly-poly satyr. Generations of art scholars have wondered...
