Skaggs had walked quite far, he realized now, in this pleasantly addled state. And that was part of the problem with his current life, he reckoned--his familiarity with almost every board and stone and step of Manhattan, his habitat by now so well known that even in a light opium haze he was able to wander for a mile, chatting silently with himself...
...with blockbusters at other museums.Despite the size of the holdings, much of the art that is not on display—99 percent of the collection, in fact—remains in storage, rarely sought out by students. In the long term, Lentz says he hopes to remedy that problem with the proposed move to Allston and the increase in gallery space that will accompany the move.

During Reagan's first term, conservatives overlooked his tax hikes and big spending because they thrilled to his vision of an America that rolled back Soviet power. In 2004, conservatives overlooked George W. Bush's prescription drug benefit and his liberal stance on immigration, and turned out for him in record numbers, because they believed so deeply in his war on terror. Now, by contrast, right-wingers carp endlessly about his domestic spending, even though...
