This ambition may be too tall an order for the Austrian-born Stronach, 76, whose entire career has been marked by both spectacular successes and failures.

It was the urban century, long dominated by men like John (Honey Fitz) Fitzgerald, the machine mayor of Boston whose daughter Rose married Joe and became the Kennedy matriarch. It was the century of the Roaring Twenties, and no stock trader or reputed rum runner roared louder than Joe Kennedy did. The century of Franklin D.
