...your welldeserved retirement, your successors will get tired of us and throw us a sop. That would be nice. Did we mention that we're going to poster at Commencement, too? Maybe we can get balloons with House shields on them and scare Vaclev Havel away. The pink balloons really seemed to disconcert Colin Powell...
...dead turkey seems in mourning for itself, painted mostly in black, its pink head-the sole patch of bright color-propped up against a dark brown basket that is painted with utter virtuosity, one stroke for every crescent of wicker. To see such passages (others are the lacy scribbles of wet black paint that define the soft body feathers) is to realize why Goya's ability to summon up a single form with a single gesture, fusing the brush mark to the form depicted, was such an inspiration to Edouard Manet half a century later.

Out of the corner of their eyes, our dyers often catch sight of open-mouthed gapes and wide-eyed stares. "No stranger ever says anything," Brown says. "They just stare." Workman adds that "little kids can't keep their eyes off my hair." Of course, these enraptured spectators can hardly be blamed for their violation of Ms. Vanderbilt's no-staring rule. The novelty of blue hair is justification...
