And the red and white stripes on Percy? Replies the artist, who may possibly have more political savvy than he realizes: "This just...

But in each generation a few thrust themselves forward, or are thrust forward by the situation--in the stadium, in the classroom, before the microphone--and come to stand as changing symbols for the largely unchanging multitude. They are those who ride with the spirit of the times, those who are under the circumstances the most vocal and aggressive and, also, those who are seized upon by the public as "typical."
