...from the Crib. Now a pink and sturdy 49, Rorimer set out to become a connoisseur of art with the same care that another man might give to preparation for brain surgery or nuclear physics. Dürer's engraving of Knight, Death and Devil hung over his crib, he recalls, and "I was a wood carver before I was a Boy Scout. At nine, I took a course in arms and armor. I got two years off from prep school to visit the art centers of Europe...
