Forced Pause. Then came April. In this year when political bettors would be best advised to try the ponies, it was altogether typical that the expected spring showers of support for Kennedy never fell.

Good, as he praised "one who rose from the ranks of the people--a friend of the man in the streets, member of a family famed for its industry, its sincerity, and its integrity." Good, like Sullivan, went to St. Paul's School and he noted with pleasure that "St. Paul's is still Walter's home base...
