...Kennedy seemed relieved and relaxed. He said he believes he could have won the 1984 race had he entered. "Politically," he argued, "everything had been moving the other way-toward a declaration of candidacy." Kennedy struggled with his choice at the fam ily's Hyannisport compound on Cape Cod over the Thanksgiving holiday. On that Friday, his administrative aide, Lawrence Horowitz, gave the family a three-hour presentation purporting to show how Kennedy could win in 1984. But the Kennedy children, unmoved by Horowitz's sophisticated research and strategies, objected emphatically to the effect on the family...

...college graduate named Alec Wilkinson applied for a job with the police department of Wellfleet, Mass., a popular vacation retreat on Cape Cod. His main qualification for the post was a familiarity with the area; he had summered there regularly as a child, and his parents had since joined the 2,000 or so people who weathered Wellfleet all year long. On the other hand, he possessed a slight physique and no knowledge at all about law enforcement. He had majored in music at Bennington. "Music, Huh?" the chief said during the job interview. "That...
