During a 29-city tour, he slowly captured public support. But then he collapsed on a train between Pueblo, Colo., and Wichita, Kan., and had to be rushed back to the White House. Days later he suffered a stroke, which his wife, his physician and a handful of co-conspirators concealed from the world, leaving Mrs. Wilson to decide, in her words, ‘what was important and what was not.’” – By A. SCOTT BERG; Excerpt from Wilson to Obama: March Forth! ; Mar 1, 2013; Copyright © 2013, The New York Times Company

“I, myself, never made a single decision regarding the disposition of public affairs. The only decision that was mine was what was important and what was not, and the very important decision of when to present matters to my husband.” – Edith Wilson on her role during the President’s illness

“It’s in the eyes – they’re the hardest to get,” says painter Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) as he struggles to commit brush to canvas. The subject is none other than Russian defector and ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, whom he has doggedly pursued to sit for him. Rudy’s patience is running thin as Jamie struggles not only to begin to paint, but to emerge from the shadow of his famous family. What started as a simple relationship between a painter and his fiery model becomes a deep friendship in which the two men trade poses, barbs, jokes and unrevealed truths. A riveting fictional account of the very real interaction between two great artists.
