From the patio of the pale stucco house, a Panamanian gunboat can be seen cruising the richly blue-green waters. Guards armed with pistols and submachine guns patrol the driveway, and a German shepherd attack dog trots around the unfenced grounds. Perched on a cliff 50 yds. from the bay, the house itself is a modest dwelling, consisting of only six rooms.

On the other hand, Beuys is brilliant at using laconic, coarse, gritty, abandoned things to suggest a tragic sense of history. A case...
