...Monsieur Jacques had never had to paint in such proportions before. His brush erect above the canvas, he paused, deliberated, then decided to begin with a more manageable area of his subject’s anatomy.His subject was posed gracefully upon a marble pedestal, his skin gleaming bronze beneath the white folds of linen, his laurel-crowned brow lifted heavenward.

...could sense the media hounds waiting to pounce. John Edwards gave his two cents, and the D.C. blogosphere bubbled with accusations of alligator tears and charges that the future leader of the free world shouldn’t be so emotional.
