“It’ll be near it, but not touching it”.
Demolishes entire East Wing.

quite surprised that the @nytimes.com never did an obit on iconic film poster artist Drew Struzan who passed away last week, especially given they did one on iconic film poster artist Renato Casaro who passed away a week earlier.
