Every now and then Joe helpfully left his spectator's seat to chat with Hoffa at the defense table.

He believes a work should be constructed, is distressed by the work of many young abstract expressionists, once grabbed an ink-stained blotter, shoved it at a visitor and snapped, "Jackson Pollock." But Picasso's latest work shows that he has lost none of his amazing powers of draftsmanship nor his virtuoso ability to improvise on a theme until it is obedient to his will. With age, Picasso becomes more impatient. His own limitations-an insensibility...
