Kathan Brown talks about Obama's "magpie approach" to literature and politics in reference to a NY Times article written by book critic Michiko Kakutani. She relates this approach to art collecting (giving us a view into her private collection,) and argues that having an open mind ultimately helps a brain that has good hunches.
If Bush's left brain approach to reading is supposed to be indicative that he "thinks things through" with regard to his reasoning, we may need to admonish Dr. Sperry to ameliorate his old split-brain findings.
That Cage is uncharacteristically more "Art-Informel" than his other stuff. Very minimal. Perhaps unfinished?
I think we're in complete agreement that eclecticism trumps formula btw. Thanks for sharing.
