Carter went to the mid-term Democratic convention in Memphis to raise the party's consciousness about budget cutting. Teddy Kennedy went out to oppose Carter. Next day back in Washington, Kennedy was scheduled to share the presidential box at the benefit for the Special Olympics, a Kennedy family project. It might have been one of those times that a President, just slightly irritated over Kennedy's divisive tactics, could have called in with a cold. But too many people were watching.

"As life-long collectors of art ourselves," he writes in a "Dear Friend" preface to the catalogue, "Happy and I decided to share with others our joy of living with these beautiful objects and the thrills we have experienced collecting them." But it's frankly a business proposition: we share our art with you; you share your money with us. The people have no art? Then let them eat Cibachrome reproductions of Picassos...
