...returning to public esteem after a century of obscurity. American 19th century painting, from the works of such frontier reporters as George Caleb Bingham, whose pictures today bring as high as $250,000, to the early 20th century cityscapes of the Ashcan School, is enjoying a remarkable revival.

The brilliant Frankfurter, who was twelve when he came to the U.S. from his native Austria, hit it off at once with the Hudson Valley aristocrat. Was young Felix merely charmed into a state of uncritical friendship by a gay, handsome fellow with a name that was practically a political key? Frankfurter himself supplied an answer in 1930 when he wrote to his friend Walter Lippmann that if he were in New York he would vote for F.D.R. for Governor, even though...
