I went to the Morgan Library during my lunch break last week. It's not a huge actual library but rather a museum of a preserved library of its former tenant - the Mr. Pierpont Morgan, grandfather of J.P. Morgan of banking fame. The man had a study with velvet-lined walls, a steel vault for rare books, the original manuscript for"Yankee Doodle Dandy," and a death mask of George Washington. Insane!!
