...Manet, Daumier, Goya and Hals; among Americans, Homer and Eakins. None were more direct than Bellows, who in the peak years of his youth became the entranced recorder of New York, the "real" city of tough mudlarking kids, of crowded tenements and teeming icy streets, of big bridges and sudden breaks in the wall of buildings that revealed tugboats and a dragging tide...

Their grand, impractical crusade seemed to fall victim to the most grimy practical considerations: Perot's inability to rev up his stalled candidacy. Hamilton Jordan and Ed Rollins, his odd-couple team of political handlers, were frustrated by the candidate's unwillingness to be handled. First Jordan was said...
