Kimmelman doesn't have to climb mountains to find inspiration. A trip to the supermarket with his 5-year-old leads him to think about how art transfigures the commonplace, which puts him in mind of the hushed brown crockery in the still lifes of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin and the pulsating gum balls of Wayne Thiebaud, which in turn bring him to a wise and lovely conclusion: "Artists who push us to look more carefully at simple things may also strike a slightly melancholic note. They remind us of a childlike condition of wonderment that we abandoned once...
...Colleagues recall his racing around the law firm with a white legal pad, jotting down questions he might be asked and then answering them.

Victory in this war will be elusive and never complete. As long as some maniac wants to kill himself and others in a subway or supermarket, we will not be able to stop him. And so stoicism matters. Getting on with our lives matters. Spelling bees, college football, celebrity gossip, high school proms: the simple continuance of these things is integral to the meaning of freedom...
Prosecutors said the undone deals involve a veritable supermarket of weaponry: 18 F-4 and 13 F-5 fighter aircraft, five C-130E transport planes, more than 20 helicopters and thousands of missiles. Iran spent $17 billion on U.S. military equipment under the Shah in the 1970s, and is desperate to get new supplies and parts to continue waging its 5½-year war of attrition with Iraq. It stands ready to deal with anyone who can deliver...
