JAMES MICHAEL CURLEY'S second-youngest son came to my grandfather's wake. You may remember the caricature of this son in The Last Hurrah, showing up in white tie at his father's campagn headquarters the night the old man lost his last election, breezing in from a night on the town to find that his father had died.

He is reminding the party how much it owes to him -and many of the voters, especially older people, union members and blacks, gladly acknowledge the debt.
