Gossip columnist Liz Smith summed it up when she wrote, "Even if Trump is the truest, most flamboyant child of Mammon yet produced at this waning moment of the 20th century, I like his style." New York Times architecture critic Paul Goldberger took a graver view: "He has yet to commission a really serious work of architecture. If he has a style, it is flashiness. It's a malady of the age. Trump just represents it the most." Characteristically, Trump responded by sneering that Goldberger was unqualified to judge his buildings because he wore cheap suits...

...mistake Federal Appeals Court Judge Anthony M. Kennedy for a liberal. Ronald Reagan's latest nominee to the Supreme Court appears to be a conservative in the truest sense of the word, conservative both in temperment and practice. Unlike either Robert Bork or Douglas Ginsburg, he seems to have few ideological axes to grind. If the words of colleagues of all persuasions can be trusted, Kennedy is a most judicious judge, one whose written opinions demonstrate a painstaking commitment to weighing the facts of a given case in light of applicable law and not to remaking the judiciary and society...
