If you like Whistler you will like this book. After I got my Turner book I was more interested in it and didn't finish this book.

stunning
The often ignored "Tonalist" movement finally gets its due in this exquisite catalogue of what must be a remarkable exhibition.

She was elected to Congress in 1978, where she rose rapidly in the party hierarchy while focusing on legislation to bring equity for women in the areas of wages, pensions, and retirement plans. In 1984, former Vice President and presidential candidate Walter Mondale selected Ferraro to be his running mate in the upcoming election. In doing so she became the only Italian American to be a major-party national nominee in addition to being the first woman. The positive polling the Mondale-Ferarro ticket received when she joined it faded as questions arose about the finances of her and her husband.
