...could produce highly wrought political caricature-Government, 1901, is a superb image of the state as machine, a cross between palace and steam roller, drawn years before the invention of the tank but moving blindly across a dead landscape manned by a gunner and some top-hatted diplomats, popes and kings. But his most memorable images were elegies of dispossession: of that dark tract between social role and inner imagination whose verbal maps were drawn by Kubin's Middle European contemporary, Franz Kafka. The Guilt, 1902, is quintessential Kubin: a starveling figure immersed to his knees in water, bent...
...unique as it is unexpected, the Bassett Hospital is a 183-bed facility only a long fly ball away from Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame. Its secret is superb organization.

So superb a safety record suggests that something much closer to complete safety in the air may not be impossible. But as the still-grieving campuses of Marshall University and Wichita State University attest, it was a disastrously imperfect year for nonscheduled charter flights...
