The Federal Reserve building more closely resembles a palazzo but we don't call it (say) "Palazzo Bernanke." (Though that might be cute.) #palazzochupi

A great many Renaissance artists and princes were Neoplatonists who believed in a perfect moral order that could be achieved through perfection and discipline of form. The whole of Northern Italy will be turning in their graves right now once they learn that some charlatan from Texas is passing off his shit as their art.
(And have you seen the Diving bell and the butterfly? It's the most overrated film in the last decade. It's one of those films that people like merely because they think they need to like it for its being boring and overlong yet still constructed with arty mannerisms.)

Uh, Julian, he's dead.
And you're comparing yourself to Brando?
Now, you don't have a big ego, do you.

"It's a valuable show, though, not for the work, but for the lesson. Here's fast-track posterity doom, and all within living memory. What it teaches is not so much that reputations rise and fall - we knew that - but how at any time, and all the time, we need to believe. There must always be something coming along to keep up our faith in art, to keep the show on the road, and we can't be too choosy about what we pin this faith to."

Dude's getting on in years. And those years aren't even his own. He seems to be getting on in somebody else's years. Maybe he learned Andy Rooney's trick of draining the life force from orphans?

I wonder if they'll have a show exposing Old Journalists traveling to impoverished eastern European countries to adopt orphans for their vigorous life-giving fluids?

It's sort of a hyper-functioning alzheimer's.

For example, they may have been the only TV news program to venture outside the U.S. before 9/11. They interviewed Musharraf shortly after his coup, they did a piece on Turkmenistan and its late crazy dictator's personality cult, etc. And watching Mike Wallace ambush crooked auto repairmen was high entertainment.
Last night's program took us inside Aramco's huge new oilfield, and though it was dumbed-down PR for the Saudis on one level, it told you some useful things you're not going to see on cable news.
