...atmosphere has been remarkably swift. White House aides concede that the protest movement was rapidly gaining momentum at the time of its nationwide Moratorium Day activities of Oct. 15. The President's Nov. 3 speech urging the "silent majority" to speak out gave thrust to the counterprotesters. Yet his defiant attitude toward antiwar demonstrators also energized the massive peace marches in Washington and San Francisco...

For the anonymous Byzantine monk painting the Mother of God, the stylized emotions of iconography were public and functional, with few secrets but only shared mysteries; to Giacometti, portraiture was similarly stylized, yet obsessive and all but totally private. Between them on that spiral way, at the far point from which the return curve began, was Rembrandt, searching and searching his own face, his own eyes, in the mirror of his self-portraits...
