Do not have time to read Phil Nugent, but must share that my Rauschenberg anecdote, retold today, of course, has the punch line, "Be careful of the Rauschenberg" (which was looming above us, in a projecting-out-of-the-wall kind of way, as we sat down on the couch in the Jerusalem home of the former Israeli ambassador to the US). The other punchline of the anecdote, which is really a great anecdote, is "A contour never crosses itself," which actually had nothing to do with the Rauschenberg.
