There has also been more argument and speculation about the contents of the album than about what happened at the Reykjavik summit. Yes, classics like Born to Run are there, jumping out of a superb audio mix like a Maserati off the mark. But so are Springsteen standards like Thunder Road and No Surrender, performed with newly spare instrumentation, sounding entirely different and stronger than ever.

A rare 1964 record album, The Goldwaters Sing Folk Songs to Bug the Liberals, was headed for his home in Scottsdale. The collection of colorful Hopi Indian kachina dolls was tagged for the Heard Museum in Phoenix. The mementos form a miniature gallery of the career of the crusty, often irascible and always independent Senator from Arizona: his dedication to U.S. military strength; his lonely conservatism, which prefigured the more...
