Named Strawberry Hill after Walpole's Gothic mansion, it is the home of Wilmarth ("Lefty") Lewis, 81, Yale class of '18, who has been editing Walpole letters since 1926.

Jimmy Carter steps from White House elevator No. 1 onto the ground floor of the mansion and smiles. He asks a Secret Service agent standing in the marbled West Hall about a relative's health. "She's better, Mr. President, thanks," the agent answers. It is 6:45 a.m., the time Carter normally begins his day. He concludes his brief conversation and walks briskly outdoors toward the West Wing, along the colonnade bordering the Rose Garden. He throws open the tall glass door to the Oval Office, strides through that exquisite, historic room and heads directly...
