목이 긴 女人들의 肖像畵를 많이 그린 이탈리아의 畵家 모딜리아니는 放縱한 生活로 平生 아내의 속을 썩인 사람이다. 그러나 그 아내는 1920年 모딜리아니가 “나는 當身만을 믿고 살아왔다”는 마지막 사랑 告白을 남기고 죽은 다음 날, 6層 窓門에서 몸을 던져 自殺했다. 이처럼 夫婦 關係란 變德과 矛盾으로 얽혀 있다. 사랑하는가 싶더니 어느새 嫉妬하고, 當場 헤어질 듯 싸우지만 지나고 나면 칼로 물 베기다.

“그 사람 없이 나는 결코 完全할 수 없다. 但只 房에서 나가는 것만으로도 나를 외롭게 만드는 사람이다.” 痴呆로 9年째 療養 中인 로널드 레이건 前 美國 大統領이 1978年 婦人 낸시 女史에게 보냈다는 便紙의 한 句節이다. 낸시 女史는 2000年 出刊한 ‘로니 사랑해요’라는 題目의 冊에서 “鬪病 中인 男便을 지켜보는 것은 끝이 보이지 않는 터널에 갇힌 느낌”이라고 했다.

Render the following into Korean:

In his first 10 days as a candidate, Gen. Wesley Clark, has been sized up by political journalists mainly on the basis of one question: Has he mastered the issues?

It's the wrong question. Yet the press is dwelling on it. In his first days on the stump, General Clark was faulted by analysts for being unfamiliar with subjects from AIDS research to healthcare reform. Reporters portrayed him as uncertain even on whether he'd have voted for the Iraq war - presumably his campaign's raison d'être.

Then, all eyes were upon him in last Thursday's Democratic debate, to see how he would handle queries on matters from trade to the budget deficit. One questioner even chided Clark for not sufficiently answering a query about Social Security privatization (Clark is against it).

Significantly, the journalists who've scrutinized Clark's policy positions and noted his purported deficiencies include not just conservative columnists - who have a motive in bashing a formidable challenger to President Bush - but also ostensibly objective news reporters. Some mocked the way Clark parsed his stand on the 2002 congressional war resolution. Others called attention to his need to ask his press secretary for help with other questions.

The implication is that Clark's absence of position papers on every issue from prescription drugs to renewable energy is a gaping liability.

This notion stems from a more basic assumption of the news media: that 'the issues' matter more than mere 'image,' and that a responsible press corps will force candidates like Clark to focus on the former.

But the issues, as the press covers them in a primary campaign, don't really matter much. And they shouldn't.

Image, on the other hand, isn't such a baleful distraction as reporters presume. It's not a diversion from but rather an expression‎ of a politician's underlying qualities. Especially in a primary campaign, few of us actually choose among candidates by gathering data on their precise stands on a fixed list of topics and seeing whose views most closely match our own. Is there anyone out there - outside the confines of the Brookings Institution perhaps - who plans to read all the candidates' position papers on healthcare reform and support the one with the best plan?
