...memory and the need to vent that pressure. But lots of bad art has been made about intense, violently authentic experience. What made Westermann such a good artist was the combination of discipline and intense feeling. An image he returned to, often and each time differently, was the Death Ship, a simple block of carved wood, sometimes afloat on a green sea of dollar bills, with the tiny dorsal fins of sharks implacably circling it. Death Ship Runover by a '66 Lincoln Continental, 1966, refers not to World War II but to Vietnam, a war Westermann hated and opposed...
...when I left prison on Buru Island, all my papers were taken from me. I was in a group of 40 who were separated from the others. When our ship was north of Madura, my group was taken off the boat. It looked like the authorities were planning to hide us away somewhere. But by chance, someone from the Catholic church in Buru heard we were going to be exiled and he spread the news.

Greenwood?s version provides the possibility of cloning embryos for research purposes...
...wonderboss Jack Welch cried uncle shortly after acquiring Kidder Peabody in 1986, and the Solomonic Warren Buffett couldn't run fast enough from his interim job as chief of Salomon Brothers in 1992. So you can see why stumbling CSFB grabbed Mack, whose own record for running a clean ship is pretty much unblemished. Mack was even rumored to be on the short list to succeed Arthur Levitt as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. He's known for giving egocentric bankers--Quattrone while at Morgan Stanley, for one--the boot rather than caving to princely demands...
