...Kooning, sexy and calligraphic at the same time: it evokes the felt presence of the body as an obsessive subject, but obliquely. And there is a curious tension between the enormous size of Murray's canvases and the often domestic and maternal emblems that become their subject matter -- tables and chairs, cups and spoons, an arm, a breast. Murray is not a feminist artist in any ideological sense, but her work, like Louise Bourgeois's or Lee Krasner's, gives a powerful sense of womanly experience.

As a matter of law, however, they are wrong. The 1982 verdict against the Post was overturned, first by the trial judge and again on appeal. Libel law is often what scholars call counterintuitive: its tenets sometimes appear to contradict common sense and even common courtesy.
