Kittens & Rabbits. Salinger's showing came as a bit of a shock to those who remembered him as a White House press secretary who could always be counted on to enliven dull news days in the Kennedy years. Those were the days when Pierre delivered solemn pronouncements on little Caroline's Tom Kitten, or offered brisk communiqués about a trumpet-playing rabbit, or exhibited a grand disdain for the 50-mile hikes so highly recommended by the Kennedys. Considering his background, it is hard for many Californians to remember that Pierre is now a genuine...
...Oswald himself joined the Marines in 1956, he was nicknamed "Ozzie Rabbit" because of his baby face and his reticence in making friends?which was mistaken for shyness. Yet he was twice court-martialed, once for unauthorized possession of a pistol and once for abusive language to a sergeant.

The apparently blank expression of a plate can, when variously inked and pressed on paper, become more radiant than a rainbow...

Colombian-born Omar Rayo, 36, makes an inkless intaglio, such as From My Zoo, by building up patterned layers of cardboard coated with rabbit glue and gesso, then pressing wet paper under hundreds of pounds of pressure to emboss a white-on-white print. Boris Margo, 62, similarly makes a "cellocut" by carving into celluloid, coating it with copper, and stamping it into uninked paper...
