...than a 5 o'clock shadow and a few odd wisps of singed hair. Often introduced in nightclubs as "the next President of the United States," Sahl is unlikely this year to achieve his stated ambition to overthrow the Government. That will take time.

In 1952 he took over the Guggenheim, which had been called the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, and which had a reputation for being not only too narrow but often second-rate. Sweeney seemed in his element in trying to build up the collection-until he collided with the towering figure of Frank Lloyd Wright...
