...black boots, canary yellow britches, dark blue melton coat and velvet hunting cap, Jackie Kennedy, astride a calico hunting horse named Rufus, plunged into the fox-hunting season with gleeful energy. So caught up was Jackie in her favorite sport that she missed a White House meeting with the patrons of Washington's Gallery of Modern Art (the President pinch-hit), and daily chased the hounds across the misty Virginia fields near Upperville, where the Kennedys are building a ranch house costing approximately $90,000. During one three-hour hunt, the First Lady chivalrously dismounted to open a gate...
Self-consciously, he tugged at the faded blue baseball cap he wears in practice to cover his balding head.

The young man was James Meredith...
...even the 63-year-old Joe Hirshhorn himself-exactly how big the collection is, but there are around 1,000 pieces of sculpture and close to 3,000 paintings. The treasures jam Hirshhorn's offices in Manhattan and Toronto, are scattered through his Park Avenue apartment and Cap d'Antibes villa, decorate the gardens and even the bathroom walls of his house atop Round Hill in Greenwich, Conn., and flow over into a warehouse in Manhattan. The U.S. public has so far seen the collection only in bits and pieces, but this fall it will get a good...
