...main reason for this drastic change of plans is a thoughtful, tireless former instructor in political science named Philip Hitchcock. By the time McKay made his last-minute announcement, Hitchcock had already taken leave from his job as public-relations director at Portland's Presbyterian Lewis and Clark College and was on the campaign trail.

He insisted that he, not McKay, is the man who can beat Republican-turned-Democrat Wayne Morse...

In 45 years of collecting, the Clarks have ranged widely, from Botticelli and Piero della Francesca to Puvis de Chavannes. The museum still has 30-odd Renoirs tucked in the basement, one soon-to-be-opened gallery hung with Italian primitives.
