Seeking to translate this symbolic imagery into clearer, simpler compositions, Smith developed his "line drawing" sculptures, made from strips of steel welded together into flat, picture-like compositions.

"I knew, or thought I knew, Nixon in the 1950s," says Rossiter, whose The American Presidency has become a standard college text. "I thought I knew him in 1962; I thought I knew him during the last campaign...
