Despite its economic problems, the city has spent a great deal of money assembling an impressive collection of modern art. Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Rauschenberg filled a single long gallery spanning the width of an entire building last summer.

Even the most eminent politicians nowadays are often remembered less for literary-power than for pop theatrics. Richard T Nixon, for example, is trailed by a whole series of unstatesmanlike remarks...
