...rural Virginia-commuting to work by chauffeured limousine-but she keeps its exact location a secret; she has been forced to move once because of county ordinances against trailers. Wherever she goes, her miniature poodle and huge, shaggy Scottish deerhound go too. They have welcomed, and startled, many a visitor to Ray's office in the AEC headquarters at Germantown...
...Carnival is lost and buried; Disney cleaned it up, and in the process illuminated a law that might well bear his name-that when illusion becomes too perfect, one loses interest and instead focuses on the backstage machinery.

Yet this too is an irony that Duchamp might have enjoyed. As the Philadelphia Museum visitor walks through Duchamp's striking prefigurations, it is possible to imagine, from deep inside the whale, the dry, ironic sound of the last laugh...
