Shriver got deeply involved in civic affairs-as a good Kennedy in-law would-including five years on the Chicago board of education. He resigned from the Merchandise Mart, got a generous separation settlement from his father-in-law, took his Peace Corps position for a dollar a year...

...poetry, dabbled in literary criticism, traveled about Europe, and at 30 decided that he should write a significant book. The role of literary-man-turned-historian appealed to him; he had always admired Gibbon and Voltaire. But their weakness, he noted, was that their "writings are nowhere warmed with generous moral sentiment." Looking for a country on which to lavish moral sentiment, Prescott discovered Spain...
