Shrivers fought in the French and Indian War and the Revolution; Sargent's grandfather rode as a teen-ager with Jeb Stuart in the Confederate cavalry. Shriver was reared in Maryland, a devout Catholic and hard-core Democrat. There was a fair amount of money from the family grain mill, built in Union Mills, Md., in 1797, and from a canning business. The son of a Baltimore bank vice president, Sargent prepped at Canterbury School, New Milford, Conn., went on to Yale, graduating cum laude in 1938, got his law degree three years later.
