...provincial decadence. From this sad landscape, littered with insignificant talents fit only for doctoral theses or bourgeois mantels, a few fine painters emerged: Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, a handful of others. Giovanni-Battista Tiepolo, in fact, seems in retrospect to have been the last Italian artist formed in the heroic mold. A protean figure of bewildering facility and adaptability, he was the link between high historical painting and rococo elegance, able to invest a pen drawing with as much tension and airy scale as a painted ceiling. But generally the 18th century seemed to be Anglo-French territory: Italy...
...have to lose money by leaving work to fish on opening day like the other guys have to do. Lately, I've been cramming in everything on Friday-dentists, doctors, shopping. Then we have Saturday and Sunday to go somewhere." As Jack Peterson, a die and mold designer for C.A.

In short, Randy is shaken out of his Eastern mold and recast as an alienated intellectual, writing on one essay into personal journalism during his junior year, "I am lost. And words are useless. The pieces no longer fit together...
...much in the mold of Yale President Kingman Brewster, whose finesse and drive have lately nudged Yale's prestige ahead to the point of challenging Harvard's. Like Brewster, Bok has rugged good looks and a legal background, is youthful and a politically deft administrator. Though never a Harvard undergraduate like all previous presidents (he was an undergraduate at Stanford), he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law and has been on the faculty since 1958. He is respected within his specialty of labor law and is experienced as a strike negotiator, but he is boyish enough...
