Thank you for this. I went off to grade school and they had the famous portrait of George Washington on the wall, the one where the bottom part is unfinished. I always thought they were clouds. Then, I read Gore Vidal's "Burr" and Washington was presented as a dullard. The founders of the United States of America all became cartoon figures to me. T'aint so, I see. Alive as you or me. (I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night.)
