With his wife by his side and a phalanx of cameras clicking, the shy Hartpence boy who changed his name while attending Yale Law School in 1961 spoke tearfully about his home and his parents. In the past Hart has been reluctant to discuss his stern upbringing in the Church of the Nazarene or the fact that his family lived in 16 homes over 18 years.

An elderly woman grabbed him by the sleeve and yanked him to her side. "There are too many foreigners buying up our land," she complained. He bent down next to her chair. "Aw, come on," he chided, "don't look at it as a zero- sum game. We want people to invest in America." She listened sullenly as he tried to explain his vision of an unfettered free market. "Well, you think about it," she interrupted, shaking her finger...
