And everyone came up with the same opaque portrait: he was a solitary man, given to serious reading - Shakespeare, Dickens, Proust - and mountain trail hiking. Since the age of 11 he had lived in the same rundown farmhouse near Concord, N.H. Still unmarried at age 50, there was no evidence he was gay - something plenty of people on both sides of the divide investigated as soon as he was nominated...
