1. Oliver Lambert cleared his throat and decided to get personal again. Mitch, our firm frowns on drinking and chasing women. Were not of Holy Rollers, but we put business ahead of everything. We keep low profiles and we work very hard. And we make plenty of money.
I can live with all that.
We reserve the right to test any member of the firm for drug use.
I dont use drugs.
Good. Whats your religious affiliation?
Methodist.
Good. Youll find a wide variety in our firm. Catholics, Baptists, Episcopalians. Its really none of our business, but we like to know. We want stable families. Happy lawyers are productive lawyers. Thats why we ask these questions.
Mitch smiled and nodded. Hed heard this before.
The three looked at each other, then at Mitch. This meant they had reached the point in the interview where the interviewee was supposed to ask one or two intelligent questions. Mitch recrossed his legs. Money, that was the big question, particularly how it compared to his other offers. If it isnt enough, thought Mitch, then it was nice to meet you, fellas. If the pay is attractive, then we can discuss families and marriages and football and churches. But, he knew, like all the other firms they had to shadowbox around the issue until things got awkward and it was apparent they had discussed everything but money. So, hit them with a soft question first.
What type of will I do initially?
They nodded and approved of the question. Lambert and McKnight looked at Lamar. This answer was his (J. Grisham. The Firm).
2. Some works seem intended as deliberate, possibly ironic, tributes. At Forests Edge, which shows a man with a crossbow-tipped rifle and a woman with a guitar or cello case, could have been deemed a failure and discarded by Balthus or Max Beckmann, who are both finely represented in galleries downstairs from this show.
Color is always a crucial element in Mr. Rauchs work, but here his palette is loaded with gravy-browns that add to the backward-looking aura. Only two paintings have color that really sings and draws you toward them.
One is the enormous Waiting for the Barbarians, with its intense blue sky and flailing figures in red, yellow and blue. It includes a reclining woman holding an orange ball while being menaced by a red-faced penguinlike creature (a barbarian?) holding a stick. Gazing somberly at us, she looks like a version of Eve or the Madonna who has toppled out of Renaissance painting without dropping her main prop.
