(It was Boland who was the earliest to spot Jack Kennedy's presidential potential. In 1946 he told O'Brien: "Kennedy...
...moneymaking ($400,000 in gross sales last year, with an $86,000 profit) K. C. Card Co.

Then Wagner began tossing out his own accusations: he charged both Gerosa and Levitt with responsibility for a deal that enabled the sponsors of a Queens housing project to make a windfall profit of $2,400,000.
