For her three daughters, aged three, five, and seven, who have been given a strict...
...tall handsome man with dark blond hair, McCormack wears the rough edges that a public school background, a stint at Annapolis, three years of active duty in the postwar Pacific and a decade of Boston politics have etched into his voice and bearing. He has a personal power and assurance that Ted Kennedy simply cannot match at this stage...
