NATION: Behind the closed doors, scenes of warmth, candor and realism 16 If nothing else, the summit for a moment brought the collision of the two most powerful forces in history down to the human scale of two men coming in from the mountain cold to talk over differences by the fire. A portfolio of exclusive backstage pictures by TIME Photographer David Hume Kennerly captures the shifting moods of the encounter...

What mattered, for now, was less the treaties not signed than the conversation begun. The important moments of one of the century's great public encounters transpired in sealed privacy.

Sprawled in an easy chair beside a crackling fire in the parlor of what was once a log cabin (it has been embellished by stone additions), Hart discoursed to TIME on the national campaign he was not exactly starting yet, while his wife Lee served coffee and cookies to TV crews in the kitchen. To some 250 supporters gathered at the nearby El Rancho Restaurant...
