...must make do with his $57,500 Government salary (plus at least $150,000 in investment-related income), pays rent of $15,000 a year for a handsome town house in Georgetown. He owns an elegant 40-room mansion in Atlanta, a $100,000 house in Calhoun, Ga., and a vacation home on Georgia's exclusive Sea Island. Nor does Lance stint on entertaining.

Carter's suit coat is draped over the arm of the couch, the label up: "Hart Schaffner & Marx, A. Cohen & Sons, Americus, Ga." The walls ripple with impressionism. Behind his chair is Childe Hassam's Flag Day, and to his right another Hassam, Old House at Easthampton. Near the door, Niagara Falls plunges silently, a swirl of delicate blues and pinks in an oil by John Twachtman.
