  7.     In painting the official White House portraits of RONALD
  8. and NANCY REAGAN, unveiled last week, artist Aaron Shikler
  9. didn't always please his sitters. First, Reagan's head was "too
  10. imposing," says the painter, and the ex-First Lady "wanted the
  11. eyes open more." He started over, making Reagan "more smiley,
  12. less intense -- more what he's all about." Depicting Nancy was
  13. easy because "her features are pronounced and clear-cut. There
  14. are no subtleties." Exactly.
