...Lorenz Hart was at his pithy best, and Richard Rodgers had not yet flowered into his fluffy and roseate bloom.

Volpe, could appoint a Kennedy pal, Benjamin A. Smith, as Kennedy's interim Senate successor. "By resigning before Jan. 1," wrote Lawrence, "Senator Kennedy prevented the Republican Governor from making the appointment.
