...fallen afoul of Henry Kissinger, who disapproved of his too independent line. After resigning from his U.N. post, Moynihan returned to Harvard, where for four months he pondered a political run. Centrist party leaders courted Moynihan for two reasons: they thought he was best able to retire Buckley and enrich New York's anemic influence in Congress. The strategy seems sound. For one thing, Moynihan, as a Catholic who attends Mass regularly at Manhattan's St. Ignatius Loyola Church and who understands how middle-income families feel about social issues, could lure back white ethnics who helped elect...

...justification as a piece of psychological reporting, about the ways two people rely on each other and torture each other. But all we see - perhaps all anyone could ever see - are the bitter ness and the desperation, not how and why they began. Without the powers of art to enrich and transform, Grey Gardens remains an aimless act of ruptured privacy and an exploitation...
