...were met by Prime Minister Jack Lynch and a band of other officials, who hastily assembled to welcome their illustrious guest. The De Gaulles then left by police-escorted limousine for the tiny village of Sneem in County Kerry. There, in a secluded bit of southwestern Ireland, where the Gulf Stream's warm waters nourish subtropical vegetation, the couple had rented a small twelve-room third-class hotel called, the Heron Cove. Normally frequented by hikers and artists, it commands a sweeping view of Kenmare Bay from its 100-acre grounds...

...Larner, those views opened a gulf between McCarthy and his most activist supporters, who were bent on reforming society in a hurry. But for McCarthy, claims Larner, "the race was over in a moral sense the day he agreed to run. With that act, he accepted his obligation and carried out his reasoned judgment."
