Last week Hillary hit the road again, and the view from her bus window could hardly have been more different. In picturesque villages and grimy towns along the way, tens of thousands braved hours of midsummer heat just to catch a glimpse of her. "Come back as President, Hillary!" a man shouted in Pittsfield, Mass. When she made an unscheduled stop for a chocolate-and-vanilla ice cream cone at a roadside stand in tiny Weedsport, N.Y., the owner put up a sign urging passersby to TRY THE HILLARY TWIST...
...boyish grin, making a halfhearted effort to straighten up his cubicle for his visitor. It's not much of an office by mogul standards: just a nondescript desk, a couple of cheap plastic milk crates bulging with papers, an old futon.

His sculpture Fall '91, 1992, is a figure of a woman, 8 ft. high, in a red suit, done with slightly more detail and verisimilitude than a window dummy but with much less than complete lifelikeness. Its effect is to wrench your sense of scale out of kilter: far away, with no real humans near it, it seems close to you; then you realize how big it is, and it takes on the threatening and remote aspect...
