...moderate in Natchez," Negro Comedian Dick Gregory once said, "is a white man who hangs a nigger from a low tree." Though Gregory is a master of bitter hyperbole, there was no exaggeration in his description as far as one Wharlest Jackson, 36, was concerned last week. Jackson had the sort of background designed to infuriate Natchez-style moderates, not to mention extremists.

Proof that it is by Leonardo lies in the handiwork itself. When the National Gallery began serious negotiations with the Prince, shortly after the deal with Simon had fallen through, Director John Walker sent Mario Modestini, a New York restorer, to examine the painting.
