...wholesale desertion of his followers ("They're takin' a runout powder!"), Long began firing dozens of the unfaithful with the speed of a Cuban revolutionary tribunal. His worries increased when five other candidates, led by New Orleans' able Mayor deLesseps Morrison, announced their willingness to run for Governor against him. Meanwhile, federal Internal Revenue agents were winding up a full-scale investigation of his financial affairs, which may roil Ole Earl's troubled waters. ¶ Bedeviled by what one of his psychiatrists called "the pressures of being the childless branch of a dynasty."

These works alone are worthy of a trip to the Busch's isolated headquarters on Kirkland and Divinity Avenues. Generally, however, the rather uneven quality of the exhibition tends to ensure a quick run-through of the works which merit attention on the part of the artgoer.
