Does his inadequacy with the figure matter? Yes, but not fatally. Turner himself -- whose Slave Ship, often seen in New York in the 1870s, is probably the main source for Ryder's perennially astonishing vision of Jonah in the churning waters, about to be swallowed by the whale -- also drew figures like slugs. Still, when you look at the figures in Ryder's The Story of the Cross, whose "awkward posture and flattened quality" the catalog rather optimistically likens to Duccio and Cimabue, you know that any such comparison is impertinent.

...even the most tolerant consumer might feel like Scrooge in the face of so much postal excess, no matter how worthy the touted product or cause. Last year the Red Cross responded to Hurricane Hugo and the San Francisco earthquake by mailing 12 million appeals, twice the organization's usual annual outpouring.

He referred the matter to the full nine-member bench, which at week's end was considering an emergency CNN petition to rescind...
...country club once a week, a trip to Paris once a lifetime. Dad wears vests, Mom wears funny hats, the maid nips at the cooking sherry (must speak to her about that). If their son makes eagle scout and one of his sisters pledges Kappa, does it really matter that the other daughter decamps for Greenwich Village and a scattershot involvement with "the arts" that her parents will never understand...
