That's O.K., he responds. "Forget me; I don't matter." Except that during the interview, he repeatedly undercuts that assertion. He expresses mild resentment about doing all the "drudge work" of creating the Reform Party while others wait to take advantage of his handiwork. And he is openly bitter at personal attacks, like Republican editor William Kristol's suggestion that he is "not an entirely sane individual." Complains Perot: "Rather than solve problems, they want to destroy anybody who gets in their...

In the past, only members of the Mafia, or yakuza, carried guns, and for the most part they killed only other yakuza.

Corot painted them directly, with a loaded brush, and they show an extreme sensitivity to atmosphere. Their light is clear and mild, and under it each plane in the jumble of Roman roofs and walls becomes part of a coherent spatial whole that delights your eye; nobody has ever rendered the exact effect of sunlight on stucco more beguilingly than Corot when young...
