Descending en masse from their hamlet, the Cornellians transform the tranquil arena into an emotional tinderbox. They slip fish—hidden underneath their clothes—past security guards. When Cornell scores, the fans hoist the putrid trout onto the playing surface, then serenade the Crimson faithful with a rendition of “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters...
...white ruff and sable-hued clothes. There's a possibility that the subject of A Lady in a Fur Wrap (late 1570s) may be Jerónima de las Cuevas, the mother of El Greco's only son, Jorge Manuel (they never married).

There began two years of an epic publishing struggle first to resurrect the images and then to order them into a narrative. That story shows the tranquil days of a newly married and youthful Senator from Massachusetts at home with a toddler in Georgetown, the moments of total loneliness on airport ramps and in strange motels when few people knew who Jack and Jackie really were, the dejected Kennedy who thought he was losing...
