Is America ready to remask to stop the spread of Covid? This week it was reported that President Biden is in talks with CDC officials about reintroducing mask mandates and social distancing. On Wednesday, Biden said that government health officials will likely recommend masking for all kids younger than 12 this fall.

And as the great singer/songwriter Marshall Crenshaw one said about his craft, “I’ve suffered for my art, now it’s your turn.” Painter and collagist Hunter Biden is testing that thesis, as the president’s son prepares for two upcoming gallery shows where his canvases are expected to go for as much as $500,000 apiece. What is really being sold?
