Storm rising -- political and natural. Bush can smell it and view it on every horizon. The old planet is sagging more than ever from its burdens of people and pollution, and it no longer takes a hydrologist or climatologist to detect it. Every American can see it in the air. You can stand with Nancy Reagan on the lawn of her sun-drenched Bel Air home above Beverly Hills and see a sinister tongue of smog lick out and engulf the office where her husband works just three miles below.

One can detect more than a few appropriations of Rowlandson in the Caprichos. And one of Goya's scariest images, They Preen Themselves -- one demon giving another a pedicure -- seems to come from Rowlandson's group of a woman cutting an officer's toenail in The French Barracks, 1786, though how Goya actually got to see this particular Rowlandson is a mystery...
