...also fascinated by "naive" and "primitive" structures like the Watts Towers in Los Angeles, by puppets, facsimiles and toys. Their studio loft in Manhattan's Little Italy is crammed with antique clockwork toys and fragments of gaudy Sicilian carts. (They once traveled together in a horse-drawn wagon from Florence to Venice, giving puppet shows en route to pay their way.) Such are not the tastes of formalists, and those who like only "high" art will have to find other places to look for it in New York...

Though Lamy by no means condoned the military's campaign of extermination against the Apaches and Navajos, he viewed the tribesmen as murderous savages. When his own wagon train was attacked at an Arkansas River crossing in 1867, he and the caravan's military leader shared command in the kind of seven-hour battle beloved by Western film makers.
