...painting in the Madison exhibit is Still Life with Portraits, a weathered door hung with a worn horseshoe, a bugle, an ancient pistol and pictures of Lincoln, Sarah Bernhardt and Henry Clay. Another achieves part of its realism because it was done in collaboration with his seven-year-old son, Neil. Against the usual wooden background, it shows a leaky water pistol, Halloween masks, a torn piece of a newspaper photo and a child's slate. On the slate is a drawing of a witch-by Neil...

They come in all shapes and sizes . . . We've had kids like seven-year-old Renee Martz, who tooted a trumpet and sang in Chinese. We've had 'Little David,' the teen-age 'miracle healer.' Now we're getting Mr. Billy Graham." The pinko, nationalist New Statesman and Nation ran verses by Sagittarius. Sample stanza...
