Caroline Kennedy Bakes a Yam (D) 20x30
The time and the place: New York, January 2009
In
honor of Caroline (Schlossberg) Kennedy, she of the distinguished patrimony and

her prepare for the rigors of public service. The gaping maw of a red hot oven
now awaits the Yam; but as for Caroline Kennedy, soon to be nutrified, who can
tell?
