Second, Rostow's own interests have changed from economics to world politics. Lastly, there is a deep-running hostility to Rostow as a scholar.

The result, though it sometimes gives the impression that the paintings have just been overzealously cleaned and scraped, offers a rare chance to linger over details normally lost in murk. Weight: 10½ pounds...
