...street, you can look through the windows and see these massive machines with people wearing aprons bent over them, hard at work on mysterious old-timey tasks,” Jacoby says. The view from inside isn’t much different. The space smells like oil and metal, the walls are plastered with old printing projects, and the back room is brimming with brass photo plates, linocuts, and lead type in dozens of fonts, styles, and point-sizes. You want a wood-carved stamp for “The World According to Garp?” Sure, they?...

I knew that there would be this musical diversity when I began my trip, but it still did not help me come to terms with the fact that a burnt-out heavy metal band now occupied the spotlight that only a few years earlier had shown on Trey Anastasio of Phish.

That metal is well concealed. Peter Sinclair, his Oxford economics professor, says, "We've had rather few Prime Ministers who've been as intellectually able as David," but recalls that his student (who, he says, won "a sparkling first") was "keen not to show up other people." A similar tribute comes from Vernon Bogdanor, professor of government at Oxford: "He was one of the nicest and ablest pupils I ever...
