That seemed to settle the "no" part of the answer. The "yes" part was embodied in the choice of Roche...
...Union. On another is an oil portrait entitled Before His Last Mission, showing Joe Jr., eldest of the Kennedy children, in flying togs just before his death in 1944, when an explosives-laden plane in which he was flying blew up over the English Channel. Opposite Bobby's desk, in stark contrast to the collection of his children's watercolors, are memorabilia of J.F.K.-whom he almost always calls "the President" or "President Kennedy," rarely "my brother" and never "Jack."

Some models will feature a front passenger seat that swivels 180 degrees and can be fitted out with a tiny desk to hold typewriter or work papers. Chrysler calls this Imperial "a traveling board room." The sporty Barracuda, which had been hurriedly fashioned out of a Valiant base in an effort to meet the challenge of Ford's Mustang, sold badly last year. This year Barracuda's fastback has been...
