...flamboyant banditry even while reconfirming in their personal life strict and some times puritanical standards of behavior. "Mafia children respect their parents and are very well behaved," Talese points out. "And the parents themselves are very patriotic. They stand for capitalism and free enterprise and very much against Communism. They shake their heads when they see students tearing up a flag on TV and they can't understand why police put up with being called...
...nearer future, though, the President's trip must be judged in terms of world politics.

Possessing, too, a heart that bled for humanity, he turned not only to the art, but also to the politics of the avant-garde, to Communism. He painted his sympathy for the political or social underdog in shades of mournful blue and used the fragmented vision of his Cubism to illustrate the emotional chaos generated by the bombing of the small fishing-town Guernica...
