...through, some of his biggest headaches may well come from an ardently pro-Kennedy Hollywood clique that is known variously as The Rat Pack or The Clan and peopled by such as Actor-Singer Frank Sinatra and Kennedy's own brother-in-law, British-born Peter ("Pee-tah") Lawford...
...Clan leaders announced their high-priced ideas about an all-star gala to be held in Washington's Armory (capacity: 12,000) on the eve of Kennedy's inauguration. Purpose of the entertainment: to pay off this year's $2,000,000 Democratic campaign deficit-and, Pee-tah said grandly, if there is anything left over for incidentals and has-beens, perhaps another $500,000 left over from poor Adlai Stevenson's 1956 campaign as well, since Adlai, lacking such a glittering galaxy, had had to take on dozens of speaking dates in order to bring...
...line-up on the speaker's stand as Jack Kennedy marched out to take his big bow last week was his sister Pat Lawford. And a proper distance behind her was her husband, Hollywood Star Peter Lawford (Never So Few, TV's Thin Man).

Their clannishness, in fact, is strangely similar to that of the Kennedy...
...sake of appearances. The Clan last week behaved with admirable propriety. Frankie wore his hairpiece, snarled at not more than one photographer, and offered to sing a solo at the convention (offer declined). Pee-tah wore conservative grey suits and tried not to be conspicuous (Den Mother Shirley MacLaine, a kook in her own right, was for Adlai, so she did not count). Naturally, there were gala parties. Frankie sang new words to All the Way: May I be emphatic? I'm Italian Democratic- All the way. I know it sounds cutting, But we've had enough...
