Michael's body was flown home on Kevin Costner's jet to the family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass., where weddings and triumphs are traditionally celebrated, and disgraces and tragedies escaped. The family draped the porch in blankets for privacy, as the flag once again was shimmied halfway down a flagpole and prying lights and cameras collected around the compound. Kennedys, Cuomos, Schwarzeneggers, Shrivers and Lawfords arrived to pay their respects. As night fell over Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, the gates were locked, but the Kennedy family headstone was lighted by the workers' spotlights as they prepared...

Mike doesn't, because their new subdivision has no sidewalks or street life. "Who wants to sit there and have people drive by gawking at us?" he asks. Sycamore Glen isn't a town at all, just a scattering of houses--a smaller, friendlier...
...play's conclusion has Sam wheeling his 20-year-old granddaughter, a victim of the plant explosion, out on the porch for some sun. She is heir to the vanity, zeal, and foolishness of the generation between she and Sam. For Sam's generation is too wise, ours is not, and we are haunted for our smartness by our very own progeny...
