...father was assassinated in Los Angeles in 1968 while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bobby emerged as one of the most exuberant and outgoing of the "cousins," as the conglomeration of Kennedy children is dubbed. His life, at least on paper, glittered: Harvard (class of '76), a stint at the London School of Economics, author of a 1978 book on Alabama Judge Frank Johnson. In 1982, in quick succession, he was married, graduated from the University of Virginia Law School, and started work as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan...

Here, as in paintings...
...Howard H. Hiatt announced in early June he would end his controversial 12-year stint as dean of the School of Public Health. Hiatt pioneered the school's effort to broaden its focus beyond traditional research for cures to a policy-oriented examination of the social and economic consequences of diseases. That approach had the blessing of President Bok, but raised the ire of the senior faculty, two-thirds of whom signed a petition in 1978 asking the dean to step down. Hiatt, who will teach at the Med School, said his resignation had nothing to do with the storm...
