Agnew (his Greek immigrant father changed the name from Anagnostopoulos) has been an able, low-key administrator of Baltimore County. His campaign started slowly: for weeks he orated on such rarefied topics as air pollution. Now he says he's "getting a little mad."

He wrote plays that people called mad, but mainly he painted pictures that few people liked. Hitler unhesitatingly banned him as "degenerate." Kokoschka cheerfully outlived them all; today, at 80, he is more generative than ever...
