The National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC is paying tribute to First Lady Nancy Reagan, who died March 6th at the age of 94. A painting on paper of Mrs. Reagan in a cherry-red dress by portraitist Aaron Shikler has been installed in the museum’s…

Janes’ Domain

January 13, 2016

New York School painters Jane Freilicher and Jane Wilson lived parallel lives. Born in 1924, they died at 90, just a few weeks apart, a year ago. They came of age in an art world dominated by Abstract Expressionism, but opted to work…

A Cruz-Kasich Ticket
Shimmers Into Focus
In Wake of Their Pact

By RED JAHNCKE, Special to the Sun
April 25, 2016

A Cruz-Kasich ticket is starting to come into focus with the two campaigns’ joint announcement that they will coordinate on three upcoming primaries. Don’t be so literal as to see things only as coordination in just three states. While many in the…

Clinton Campaign Themes
Failed To Resonate
For Jeb Bush and Rubio

By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun
April 25, 2016

Hillary Clinton is finding the themes for her presidential campaign in language already road-tested by candidates who ran, and lost, in the Republican presidential contest. Mrs. Clinton, a Democrat, just released a campaign commercial in which the…

How Trump Outflanked Cruz
After the Delegate Scrum
Among Colorado’s GOP

By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun
April 21, 2016

Donald Trump’s landslide victory in the New York GOP primary was a game-changer. It ended his Wisconsin slump and set the stage for an across-the-board sweep next Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Mr. Trump’s…

Collapse of U.S. Growth
Puts Business Tax Cut
At Center of the Election

By LAWRENCE KUDLOW and STEVE MOORE, Special to the Sun
April 29, 2016

GDP for the first quarter of 2016 came in at a paltry one-half of one-percent. That sorry showing follows growth of 1.4% and 2% in the previous two quarters. If such a thing is possible, the already anemic economy is actually getting worse. Even…

Trump-Cruz Odds Are Even
As the GOP Campaign
Swings Toward Indiana

By RED JAHNCKE, Special to the Sun
April 28, 2016

Donald Trump’s five-state, 110-delegate triumph Tuesday in the “Acela primary” sweep may have been expected, since his only real competition, Senator Cruz, had conceded much of the territory as too unwelcoming to warrant investment. The back-to-back…

America’s Greatest Muse
Is Ignored by Arts Elite
In an Era of Abstraction

By SETH LIPSKY, From the New York Post
April 27, 2016

Above: Audrey Munson - NY First Super Model from Roberto Serrini on Vimeo.

June will mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of Audrey Munson, the greatest artist’s muse of the 20th — or maybe any — century. New York boasts at least 15 statues of her, including two flanking the entrance of the Brooklyn Museum. So who’ll be honored at the Brooklyn Museum’s annual dinner for the Elizabeth Sackler Center, which is dedicated to “feminist art — its past, present, and future”? Marxist professor Angela Davis.

Britain’s Message to America
Echoes the Disappointments
Of Both Obama and Europe

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun
April 27, 2016

Two weeks ago, I wrote of the unusually important parallel campaigns, for the presidential nominations in the United States and over whether the United Kingdom would continue within an “ever closer” European Union. I was in Britain last week, and have…

The European Union declared war on Google — one of the most successful American companies of all time.That was last week. Instead of the United States government rushing to the rescue of this Silicon Valley‎ legend, the Obama administration…

The Obama Effect

Editorial of The New York Sun
April 26, 2016

Maybe America should have sent John Adams to London to talk about British independence. That’s what we take from a cable just in from Stephen MacLean of the Disraeli-Macdonald Institute, who forwards the results of the latest poll from Sky News. Before the latest visit, Sky reports, Mr. Obama appeared to be an asset to the camp that opposes Britain being an independent country. That is the camp to which Mr. Obama belongs. After his visit, he starts to look like a liability.

Soaring Suicides Emerge

Middle aged people laid off and unable to find work are taking another way out. They’re killing themselves. Suicide rates are soaring, according to federal data released last week. Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved upstate…

Citizens Dis-United

Editorial of The New York Sun
April 24, 2016

What an astounding moment this is in the era of Citizen’s United. The most famous multi-billionaire libertarian right-winger in the land, Charles Koch, who is nursing a $900 million stack and looking for a candidate on whom to bet it in the coming election, suggests that Hillary Clinton could be better than the various Republicans. How does Mrs. Clinton respond? She says she’s “not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote.”

For Obama at Hiroshima,
An Acid Test Could Await
His Vision of Future Peace

By SETH LIPSKY, From the New York Post
April 13, 2016

President Obama hasn’t said yet whether he’ll visit Hiroshima when he’s in Japan next month. But he’s being encouraged to do so and even, by some, to apologize for America’s use of the atomic bomb in 1945. Following is the speech I’d like to hear . . .

In the din of the campaign for the U.S. presidential nominations, there has been little attention in the United States to what could be one of the most important votes in modern history, on whether the United Kingdom remains in the European Union or…

Canada’s Outlook Positive,
But, Trudeau, Beware
Of the ‘Green Shift’

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun
April 9, 2016

A report card on Canada’s federal government as it approaches six months in office would have to be reasonably positive. There have been no horrifying blunders such as in the Pearson-Gordon “60 Days of Decision” in 1963, which led to an interesting…
