Keenan says, "Terry's a bit of a bulky and belligerent man" with "a voracious hunger for intellectual conversation." Anderson went on a hunger strike at least once.

Victims of their own remarkable success, maybe. "Must be $50 billion on the hoof here," muttered a Kennedy veteran. Mrs. Harriman, one of the wealthiest Americans, is a kind of housemother to the Democratic Party. Megamillion lawyers like Lloyd Cutler, once counsel to President Carter, were a dime or so a dozen.
