...early mornings, as mist rose off the Potomac River, Haig often had breakfast with a guest in his seventh-floor State Department aerie, where only his soldier's voice and the ticking of an antique clock broke the solemn silence. At such encounters, his misty ambition was freed. In this fantasy, he was on Capitol Hill putting together a practical budget, making sensible deals with Speaker Tip O'Neill and the Democrats, fashioning legislative maneuvers that made things work rather than standing prettily on ideology.

...belief that cultural synthesis might redeem us all. How can one follow this show, from its first choked and turbulent exercises, through the grapplings with chosen masters (Picasso, Masson, Miró, Orozco) in the "totemic" and "archetypal" paintings of the 1940s, into the air and vastness of Lavender Mist or Autumn Rhythm, without seeing that Pollock's career was one of the few great models of integrating search that our fragmented culture can offer...
