This was more like it. Wherever they went-in San Antonio, Houston and Fort Worth-the crowds were large, warm, and plainly in love with Jackie. Kennedy had been warned that Texas was enemy territory, indeed, Adlai Stevenson, who had been roughed up by a Texas crowd only last month, advised Kennedy Aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr. that some Dallasites had voiced concern over the President's safety.

Great Drawings travels from 15th century Painter Jan Van Eyck's warm and perceptive silverpoint, Portrait of Cardinal Niccolo Albergati, to the sensual shorthand of Matisse's Female Nude from the Back.

The subjects in both books range from rustic landscapes to architectural fantasies...
