...catalog charts his fall. You see the first puff of feathers detach itself from the wing of the Angelic Limner in 1846, when John Ruskin lets fly in Modern Painters: "A taint and stain, and jarring discord . . . marked sensuality and impurity." In 1895 Romain Rolland downed him: "He was able to deceive two entire centuries . . . Guido's laborious conscientiousness is void of thought and true feeling."

One victim of his thunderbolts was Rolland Timerbayev, a senior political officer in the U.N. mission, who had the thankless task of supervising the mission's move from Park Avenue to East 67th Street. When Gromyko was shown the completed work that autumn, he spent more than half an hour stuck between floors in a faulty elevator. Finally freed, he decided that Timerbayev should have a new career...
...equal and opposite force at work in the country, and pessimists cite it as an indication of decline. "It used to be that every potential intellectual in Japan read Hegel or Kant," laments Keene.
