...Speaker is fighting to stay in place for another reason, this one deeply familial, as Irish as his roots. His son Tommy is running for Governor of Massachusetts, and Tip is determined to see him in the job. He rushes to every fund raiser for his boy, presses his friends to kick in. "Helping the son is the most important thing in his life," says a close friend. O'Neill wants to stay on the ballot in Massachusetts in 1982 to boost his son's candidacy...
...President showed a bit of whimsy in the timing of his first such nomination: he announced on St. Patrick's Day that William Edward McCann, 50, an insurance executive from Short Hills, N.J., and a Reagan-Bush fund raiser in the 1980 campaign, was his choice as Ambassador to Ireland.

Two or more stock hookers-with-hearts-of-gold wander in, complaining about the hot water and "business." They fare little better than Raiser, particularly Ann Diamond as April, who seems to have been given the role solely for her alarming shock of blond hair. Her arms flailing with almost every line, she demonstrates her remarkable unsuitability throughout, but particularly when confronted with a cigarette--ain't no hooker who smokes like that. Sarah...
