While Brother-in-Law Stephen Smith and Brother Teddy manage campaign logistics and strategy, Sisters Jean and Pat, Sister-in-Law Joan and Cousin Polly Fitzgerald descend upon the distaff electorate. Materfamilias Rose is one of the wonders of the campaign. "Look at those legs," marveled a 70-year...

Brother Ted Kennedy and Brother-in-Law Stephen Smith were among the invisibles last week, performing the hard chores of organizing an instant campaign and a delegate hunt...
