Representative Edward Markey, 32, a Democrat from Maiden, Mass., who proposed the moratorium, was in his district last month talking to a man in his 70s. "You know...

His recitals, heavily laced with showpieces of his own composing, catered unabashedly to the florid, sentimental taste of the day. On occasion he disdained using one piano where ten or 14 would do.
