...level of pain, nostalgia and despair. Such suffering is delicious to the Portuguese, and the fados cover everything-defeated souls, wasted nights, strange shadows. Americans who have a feeling for the blues can understand the spirit of the fado, but you ain't really been blue till you've felt the fado...

What made things go even more badly in these times of strain was Bucky's conviction that money was not a serious problem and would always come from somewhere. His wife Anne views...

...mattered. "Mal à la Tate," punned a peeved Punch. At first the trustees forced the stepchild Tate to accept Victorian tearjerkers that no one will even borrow today. The Tate did not succeed in winning its complete autonomy from the National Gallery until 1955, and it had to wait till after World War II for annual government grants, still a pittance at $112,000 a year, to buy works...
