    Aug 23, 2019

    Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana — Tropical Storm Chantal, churning in the north Atlantic, is no threat to land at the moment.

    At the height of the Great Depression, a Russian artist was paid by the US government to paint a series of murals in a San Francisco high school. The 1,600-square-foot, 13-panel work that Victor Arnautoff created was called The Life of Washington, after the school's namesake. It could have embraced a hagiographical view of America's founding father and first president: young Washington chopping down the cherry tree and saying 'I cannot tell a lie'; old Washington relinquishing the role of...
