...Yankee hegemony notwithstanding, political and financial power was beginning to be possible for an Irishman. His grandfather had fled the potato famine in 1848; his father, Patrick J. Kennedy, became a saloon owner and Massachusetts state senator. Pat Kennedy had the money and savvy to send Joe to Boston Latin School and then across the river to Harvard, deep behind the Brahmin lines. Emerging from Harvard in 1912, Kennedy told friends that he would be a millionaire at 35-and he just made the deadline...

...publish there, and many of the more controversial proselytes for both schools were either editors or regular contributors at the time. Looking back on it all, on James Agee's parody of the Saturday Review. on The Advocate's politics in 1938 when they issued a ballot in Latin from their Bow Street offices, on the memoirs of Eliot haunting the Sanctum with his fin-de-siecle mannerisms, it seems as if this history has been severed from the present.

Call for Guides. The present law has a special twist for Latin Americans and Canadians. For the first time, it set a limit on their immigration (120,000 a year), but it established no job-preference guides. The quota has been oversubscribed, and more than half the applicants are domestics and other unskilled workers. One result: Canadian firms and U.S. companies doing business in Canada can no longer transfer personnel to the U.S. for training or new assignments without a long wait. The Kennedy-Feighan bill would create a preference system favoring those with skills and management ability. This would...
