...second floor. They are hung with a "big slice of the cultural history of mankind," as Rosenfield says. And though resonant with a strenuous, discordant mixture of competing styles and periods, none of them can escape a certain loneliness, a quiet desperation when shoved back into their dark recess. Pulling out one rack then another, Slive runs through the depot, lingering over one canvas then passing on to the next. On one, four Renoirs are hung, on another two Davids.

His suits were uncharacteristically rumpled, his shoes unshined, his waistline bulging more than it did a few months ago. But he was tan, handsomely graying and in top political form. Meeting high school students, he did not lecture them but sounded out their opinions on national policy. At Grafton, a local policeman mumbled about Chappaquiddick and complained that Kennedy had swiped his Bic pen to sign autographs. But when he caught sight...
