...seemed wholly exempt from the contagion. Those who were not enthusiastic were at least curious. On the strength of their appearance, Ed Sullivan doubled his ratings. Even the highest brows and the remotest recluse were undone by their young. Painter Andrew Wyeth, for instance, was badgered by his 17-year-old son into wangling a ticket, admits he would have gone along himself if he could have found a pair. Happy Rockefeller took young Jamie and Wendy Murphy to the Carnegie Hall concert-the first time she has been photographed with her children since her divorce and remarriage. In Washington...

During the Renaissance, they thought, art had bogged down in formulas, divorced from the community of man, and had become the terrain of academicians for whom Raphael was the exemplar. True sentiment, whether religious or secular, had vanished from art in the eyes of the Pre-Raphaelites, so they turned to a literary, historic past that supplied them with heartfelt admiration for purity and chivalry.
