...biased in a sense; it clearly indicated that ABC meant to criticize the President. Yet Agnew spoke not merely of Harriman's being "trotted out" to offer "gratuitous advice," but sharply impugned his peace efforts. While he was in Paris, said Agnew, the U.S. "swapped some of the greatest military concessions in the history of warfare for an enemy agreement on the shape of the bargaining table."

In The Flagellation of St. Barbara, the brutal, peasant faces and awkward, potbellied figures of Barbara's tormentors foreshadow the popular style of Bruegel or Bosch-though neither painter had been born when they were painted. By contrast, nothing could be more courtly than the boneless sinuosity of Barbara's figure, the vapid sweetness...
