...Fifteen years ago, the 3.2-acre site of Harborplace was part of a 250-acre wasteland of rotting wharves, markets, warehouses and railroad yards, the worst of Baltimore's then decrepit downtown. Its transformation into the commercial and social centerpiece of the Inner Harbor and the energizing jolt it has sent through the entire city are the result of $20 million worth of construction, plus the ideas and energy of an affable Marylander named James Wilson Rouse...

With the post of Prime Minister in his reach, Kitchen gave a splenetically injudicious "twenty-five-minute speech and a fifteen-second interview" that blasted his career. Beached by the tides of power, the political leviathan shrank to a minnow, indulged as the darling of his party's young hotbloods. This is the lesser half of an in-depth study in remorse. As much a philanderer as a workaholic, Kitchen neglected...
