Gluck also bought the "Ralph Whittington Collection," a U-Haul of porn previously owned by Ralph Whittington, 57, a retired Library of Congress curator who lives with his mother near Washington and who kept the world's largest professionally catalogued collection of pornography, carefully labeled in bingo-card boxes that his mother brought home from church.
