His "New" Labour has proved a more lasting achievement than Bill Clinton's "New" Democrats.

Michael Smith and Alan Herman produced a mixed-media work in 1983 called Government Approved Home Fallout Shelter Snack Bar, a survivalist food counter for the prudent nuclear family, equipped with provisions and three stools. In 1981 Robert Morris created a huge work for the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, titled Jornada del Muerto, after the site of the Trinity test. Morris' effort includes a drawing called The Miyuki Bridge, the bridge to which Kawamoto fled...
