...studies obsessively reworking an idea or theme, many of them threading though the painter's long life: classical mythology; the artist as minotaur or faun; the savage beauty of the bullfight. The same subject is painted over and over, and because Picasso dated his works precisely, the astonished visitor understands that half a wall of work is the output of just one day. There is lyrical beauty, puzzling abstraction, wit and color; and occasionally a startlingly realistic pencil portrait of Maar as a reminder of his consummate skills as a draughtsman...
...type, "with receding chins and small feet" - TR is a perfect reproof, and they respond by embracing him. Clinton placed a bust of the Rough Rider on his desk. Bush moved TR's portrait to a prominent spot in the Cabinet room, and to many an Oval Office visitor he proudly points to his desk as the same one Roosevelt used.

There really are endless green fields, a soaring 15th century chapel, rooms where centuries of schoolboys have carved their...
...long-term picture remains sunny. "It's like China maybe 15 or 20 years ago," Faber says. A frequent visitor to India since the early '70s, Faber says Bombay alone has changed more in the past four years than in the previous 30, with the sudden emergence of chic restaurants, hotels and stores as the most visible signals of India's new sense of wealth and optimism. And gaps in development provide opportunities for growth. India's infrastructure and housing are ripe for improvement, says Faber, and there's enormous scope for the building of malls and supermarkets...
