...Shakespearean parallel -- always testifies to the fact that when a great artist breaks the mold, the result still pays homage to the mold itself. There can hardly be a more intensely moving portrait of a woman's naked body than his Bathsheba with King David's Letter (1654).

Both Bill Clinton and Jerry Brown, therefore, must concentrate on attacking Bush's economic stewardship no matter how the recovery develops.
