...Tammany tiger, the Kennedys cut off De Sapio's federal patronage. Run-of-the-mill jobs are now being dispensed through Congressman Eugene Keogh of Brooklyn and Charles Buckley, boss of The Bronx, while applicants for higher jobs must call upon Bobby Kennedy or Brother-in-Law Sargent Shriver. The Washington tactics produced the desired results.

Stocking Feet & Black Cigar. On election night the GHQ swarmed with Kennedys and staffers. All the brothers and sisters-Bobby, Ted, Jean, Eunice and Pat-and their husbands and wives scurried about with news bulletins (Old Joe Kennedy and his wife watched the returns on TV in the "Big House'' near by); Brother-in-Law Peter Lawford manned the five wire-association tickers in his stocking feet.
