I was taken back into the world of my earliest memories, when, in my grandparents’ dining room on Hewes Street in Brooklyn, my head had gained enough altitude for me to notice that the big cherry-wood dining table was covered with a layer of glass.

I'm in New York, and New York apartments aren't necessarily known for their sprawling grounds and open space.

"A gala garage sale at the Baker barn in the late 1970s coincided, as it happened, with my peaking anxious-class frustration and the semiannual lust to start making mischief with a piece of wood. When I told Bill that I needed a good dining table but could not pay much for it, he said, “Bob, I’ve got just the thing for you!” and he led me back into the darkly stacked reaches of the Baker Barn, on the way trying to sell me his spare four-poster bed, which was this enormous thing. A ray of sunlight in back caught the object of Bill’s
