...same, few political campaigns in memory-with the possible exception of the Kennedys'-have produced quite so exotic a cast of supporters and swingers. Among the Lindsay helpers were Actor Henry Fonda, Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion Jose Torres (a Puerto Rican), Singers Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli and Ethel Merman, Authors Norman Mailer and Paddy Chayefsky, Broadway Producers George Abbott and Hal Prince, ex-Baseball Star Jackie Robinson and Boxer Suear Ray Robin son, Comedienne Phyllis Diller and CORE Leader James Farmer...
...Scene, Manhattan's freest-wheeling nightclub. The guest list read like a society columnist's dream: Huntington Hartford, Mrs. Eric Javits, Wendy Vanderbilt, Melinda Moon, Freddie Guest (Winston's son) and his wife Stephanie (Joan Bennett's daughter), Maria Cooper (Gary's daughter), Liza Minnelli (Judy's daughter), Alexandra Cushing and Christina Paolozzi, plus a constellation of Southampton and Newport debs, some of whom flew in for the occasion.
