This historic occasion marks the culmination of a six-month struggle to fend off the political and legal attacks of gay marriage opponents like Gov.

But they are nothing compared to the museum pieces stacked in not much order in another huge room. The collection includes Kennedy's personal possessions -- from scrimshaws to Gov 7 notebook -- plus scores of gifts from heads of state and unknowns around the world. There are 1245 paintings of Kennedy, 280 busts, and one Harvard chair, a gift from the Class of 1964, presumptuously inscribed: "The only proper seat of government is a Harvard chair...
