I was told that the most interesting man in the world works in the archives
division of the New York Public Library, and so I went there, one morning
this summer, to meet him. My guide, who said it took her a year to learn
how to get around the Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street, led us to an
elevator off Astor Hall, up past the McGraw Rotunda, through a little door
at the back of the Rose Main Reading Room. Our destination was Room 328.

A sign above the door called it the “Brooke Russell Astor Reading Room for
Rare Books and Manuscripts.” Inside, there were a handful of quiet
researchers stooped at large wooden desks, and in the corner, presiding
over a cart of acid-free Hollinger document boxes, was the archivist Thomas
Lannon.
