Sunday, it was Cleveland, as coolly respectable as Florida, and unexpectedly flamboyant; Monday, the lush, velvety valleys, red barns and wind-stroked corn fields of Wisconsin; Tuesday, the tall towers of Minneapolis, rising sharply from the prairie and gleaming in the warm sun; old, mellow St. Paul with its distinguished piles of Victorian brick and stone on Summit Avenue, where Scott Fitzgerald lived...
