...West Side with three roommates. She partied ever so lightly and dated a writer for two years before meeting an older man, Edwin Schlossberg, an eclectically brilliant polymorph, an author and museum designer, whom her mother adored.

She had as private a wedding as a Kennedy could have, registering her Luneville Old Strasbourg china ($50 for a five-piece setting) at Bloomingdale's, marrying at a small Catholic church on the Cape, her cousin Maria Shriver as her matron of honor...

In my own case, even my fecklessness as a habitually lapsing moderate (the steaks, the ice creams, the occasional cigar) would hardly account for two heart attacks and two multiple coronary bypasses by the time I had plateaued into middle age. Heredity is not the explanation either. Who knows? Perhaps the subterranean fissures of the Type A internalized--bad spiritual habits, no doubt. Angers, self-lacerations, demons and opacities of character...
