...produce Hostage to Fortune, The Letters of Joseph P. Kennedy (Viking; 764 pages; $39.95). As Smith describes it, her search through the often crumbling documents (some uncatalogued at the JFK Library in Boston, some forgotten in a warehouse in Long Island City, N.Y., and others found in the attic above the room in Hyannis Port, Mass., where Joe Kennedy died in 1969) has a quality of the newsreel reporter's quest for Charles Foster Kane...
