Chiseled over the Dexter Gate to Harvard Yard on Mass. Ave. is a surprising inscription. On the street side, the inscription reads "Enter to Grow in Wisdom"--nothing terribly shocking for a University. But the message written on the Yard side of the gate betrays its age: "Depart to Serve Better Thy Country and Thy Kind."

Presuming that value was stated to be somewhere around the Sotheby's catalog figures, the tax collectors can argue that the auction results proved it to be a wild underestimate and press for 60% of a far higher figure, though perhaps not the whole $34.5 million (which in any case will be reduced some 12% by the buyers' premiums and sales commissions for Sotheby's). Alternately, the Kennedys might pay capital-gains...
