The detail that fascinates me is this: he moved to Cornish, N.H., home of J. D. Salinger. And moved not just into any home, but into a very particular house:
"Their [Clark Rockefeller and his wife's] Cornish home had once belonged to the jurist Learned Hand."
If you were waiting for an opportunity to make a metaphor, about an America where the houses of the Learned Hands have been taken over, usurped, bought up by the con-men, not necessarily the obvious full-time professional con-men, such as the "Clark Rockefeller" in question, but the other kind, the good clean upstanding sort, who call too many of the shots all over the place, then now's your chance.
