...Karen Kilimnik. (Williams can't draw at all, although her installation The Sweet and Pungent Smell of Success includes a dandy splotch of plastic vomit.)

The latest New York Times-CBS poll showed Simon jumping into first place among Democrats in Iowa, with 16% support. New York Governor Mario Cuomo tossed an unexpected garland in Simon's direction last week, pronouncing that he looks "strong" and that "I feel great, great empathy with...
