...rest farm. Robin West, a young White House aide, chortled through his eggnog as he noted the PT-109 tie clasps (J.F.K.) and the L.B.J. cuff links still worn by those aging and jowly warriors of the New Frontier and Great Society. Ruddy and smiling John McLaughlin, the former Jesuit who defended the Nixon Administration's soul, rubbed elbows with presidential aides from other years, such as James Rowe (F.D.R.), Ben Wallenberg (L.B.J.) and Bob Amory...

Dennis Leder, a 29-year-old Jesuit who will be ordained into the priesthood in June, works across the hall, where he looks out on Mass Ave and Boylston Street and like Warner slowly works his way toward artistic success. Leder lives in a Jesuit community in Cambridge and studies at the Weston School of Theology, where he came from New York City a year and a half ago. He decided he wanted to be a priest when he was 18 years old, because of the priesthood's "elements of service to people...
