BILL MCCLELLAN: A MAN OF THE ARTS ENDURES HARD TIMES

“Not so long ago, Pier Marton seemed a picture of success. He taught at Washington University in the film and media studies program. His résumé included video shows at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York. He owned a home not far from the university.
Reared in Paris and educated at UCLA, he had the sort of sophisticated background that appeals to the arts crowd. He traditionally got good reviews from his students at the end of a semester.

Stephen Colbert understands the treacherous game of politics when he says
“POLITICS MEANS I AM NOT TELLING YOU MY INTENTIONS. I am showing you an action that is causing a reaction from you while I am playing another chess piece over here. And together I will triangulate some secretive way where I WILL ACHIEVE POWER OVER YOU.”
