Early in 1978 she moved to a spacious apartment in Boston's Back Bay, devoid of political memorabilia but graced by a Steinway baby grand. It is, she told her children, "Mommy's apartment, not Daddy's." She strained to make a life of her own; studying for a master's degree in education at Lesley College, fund raising for the arts, even dating a few "safe...
