...Wish for the Whatnots. The President was at his crowd-pleasing best when he spoke to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington's Constitution Hall. He loosed a flock of his favorite yarns (see box), and got a warm reception even while needling the businessmen: "All of you feel sorry for yourselves now-all of you have a martyr complex, and all of you think you are mistreated." Ticking off his Administration's economic accomplishments, he cried: "I came here this morning because I want you to be a part of this Administration, of this Government, whether...

Now it was up to management, and Doc Wolfe summoned to Washington the presidents of nine railroads, who make up his advisory board...
...visual research is often challenged as phony. Yet in the permutations of pattern that sometimes hurt and sometimes enchant human vision lie the power and the challenge to change reality. As Bridget Riley says, "I wish somebody would give me a big wall to destroy. I mean, to make it no longer seem a wall...
