		Alexander's liberal activism long predates her chairmanship, and her analysis of politicians' evolution from public servants to interest-group stooges is as strong as her defense of the arts.
		Alexander's opinions on how funding was handled, what was considered art, and how arts organizations, artists, and arts education are constantly overlooked at providing no real social importance by men in power who are "of little mind".
		Alexander is to be commended for all she accomplished at the Endowment and this book is a great account of what she had to endure at the center of one of the government's most controversial agencies.

		Jane Alexander never knew, and still doesn't know, what she did to deserve her fate.
		In her book, Alexander says that she kept wondering what the president wanted from her, what his hopes for the arts might be.
		Alexander also notes that denouncing a photographer (Robert Mapplethorpe) who would portray himself naked with the handle of a bull whip inserted into his anus, or a performance artist (Karen Finley) who would present herself naked and covered with chocolate, were sensational sound-bite opportunities for publicity-hungry legislators.

		Alexander's work does not lend itself to easy interpretation, but despite the artist's silence on the subject, the menacing and eerie figures The Butcher Boys, like Alexander's other sculptures from the late Eighties, were understood to be a manifestation of the deeply maladjusted apartheid society.
		Alexander lives in Long Street, home of a busy nightlife and its attendant body of street children, alternately preyed on and preying on those who come to sample the pleasures of the street.
		Alexander is the mother of a small son herself, and her early collages of a naked German boy in Nazi Germany display the concern she has always felt for the effect of society on children.

		Americans "sure are making their voices heard up on The Hill," Alexander said during a telephone interview with Dance Magazine in early March, approximately two months before a scheduled vote on the fate of her agency.
		Alexander is herself an artist - a Tony Award-winning actress, a film producer and an author - which makes her an exceptionally articulate advocate for the arts, and her conversation suggests that she has mastered the negotiating skills required of a high-ranking Washington bureaucrat.
		Alexander remarked that the basic reason for art is art, "but to talk about it that way lands on deaf ears in the right wing." Besides, she pointed out, "the economic argument is true: the NEA is an economic stimulant, and the arts are a revitalizing element in communities."
