Whatever that hard-gained Smith majority in the Bay State may have signified politically, it gave Governor Fuller, long the Republican Party's second prize publicity artist, a chance to step out to a sizeable lead over his once superior opponent, the vociferous Mr. Goodwin.

Hennessy conceived the "Ponce de Leon" as a shrewd means of booming "***" above English or Dutch gin as a favorite cocktail ingredient. Today one may step up to any smart bar and obtain deft action by exclaiming "A Ponce!" Strangely enough Jean Hennessy swears that he has never tasted one. Wet by profession, he is socially and privately dry. In 1910 he became a Deputy, in 1924 Ambassador to Switzerland and recently Minister of Agriculture...
