...lethal powers. Throughout his life he included his own likeness in his canvases. But in exile, as he meditated more forcefully on his fate, he appears more frequently than ever. In The Raising of Lazarus - a powerful topic for an artist yearning for a papal pardon - he's struck by the same shaft of light that picks out the dead man. In his somber Saint Francis in Meditation, he may even be the saint. If so, it would be a telling use of himself to give authenticity to the idea of the saint's self-examination. But in none...
...year, the list shrunk to less than a tenth of the lucky 400. Clinton and Gore struck out, but dozens of Harvard outsiders were still in consideration. Condoleezza Rice, the former Stanford provost who was then helping George W. Bush to secure his presidency; Richard D.

But what struck me most was the moment when security guards grabbed a pair of protesters trying to show their banner. In the spirit of his speech, Bush should have asked that the protesters be allowed to wave their banner. It was another of Bush's missed opportunities and the only thing that made me smile on that miserable day. Kees Broertjes Amsterdam...
