Several gifts seemed wholly innocent acts of compassion, such as covering medical expenses or easing the financial problems of retiring aides. At least one gift came perilously close to violating New York State's conflict-of-interest laws, however, and others raised questions of propriety. Hugh Morrow, Rockefeller's chief press spokesman for 15 years, said that most of the gifts went to longtime employees.

Diamond, a conservation and ecology expert, head of the Department of Environmental Conservation under Rocky and now executive director of his Commission on Critical Choices for Americans, $100,006; Victor Borella, a special assistant on labor issues in Rockefeller's administration, $100,000; Hugh Morrow, $135,000; and Mrs. Anne Whitman, onetime secretary to President Eisenhower and assistant to Rockefeller, $48,000 in gifts and loans...

Anne was a writer, later destined for fame on her own, and together they settled down to a quiet, productive life in New Jersey. Peace was short-lived, however. In 1932, the Lindberghs' first and then only child, 20-month-old Charles Jr., was kidnaped from a second-floor nursery. Ten weeks later, the body was found in a shallow grave in some woods near...
