Nearly 2,000 guests paid a modest $15 a ticket for the ostensible purpose of welcoming O'Donnell home-even though he returned from Washington nearly a year ago. Bobby and Teddy Kennedy were there. Dave Powers, White House jester during the Kennedy years, served as master of ceremonies. Benjamin Smith, who was J.F.K.'s Harvard roommate and later warmed the U.S. Senate seat to which Teddy Kennedy was elected, was on display.

It is still the same old horse-manure though; gracious knows why the editors cling so tenaciously to their cretinish little jester and that tired bird.
