...Columnist Drew Pearson, who was close to F.D.R.'s White House, reported that Eleanor Roosevelt chanced to discover the romance "when, driving through Virginia, she saw her husband and Lucy in a parked car"-apparently in Arlington, roughly where the Pentagon now stands, in an area popular during World War I both for horseback riding and as a trysting spot...
...Many recalled the secret visit that F.D.R. paid Lucy Rutherfurd at her 1,500-acre estate in Allamuchy, N.J., in September 1944, six months after the death of her husband.

The poet hero, doomed to an academic lecture circuit where he recites his now-hackneyed verses, is the husband of one and the official lover of two other voracious, intellectual Jewish women.

He has met such a one, and treasures a letter...
