Errant Knight After all, the Knights are one of the strongest Pro-Life fraternal organizations in the country," he wrote in the council's newsletter in February, ignoring the incongruity between the prolife position of the Knights and the antilife campaign of one of its members. After all the flak the Knights have taken - for their failure to expel prochoice Knights as mot meeting the requirement that Knights must be practical Catholics - one might think the Order would be eager to rehabilitate its somewhat sullied image by publicizing a case in which a prochoice Knight was suspended for scandal.

Guggenheim Collection - Painting - Kokoschka - Knight Errant Thus it is that the agonized knight errant of Oskar Kokoschka’s painting is to this day read as an expression of the artist’s pain over the death of an unborn child and the crumbling of his relationship with the fascinating, and quite unrepentant, Alma Mahler.

The central figure appears to be a self-portrait of Kokoschka, clad in the armor of a medieval knight. www.guggenheimcollection.org /site/medium_work_md_Painting_78_1.html   (365 words)

The Domitable Knight Errant The pecunious knight, whose pregnable helmet lay upon a branch in the overbrush, was a sightly and figured youth, although his own martial eptitude was deniable.
