Lost Generation
One of the most amusing
anecdotes to come out of the
last presidential campaign was
thought to be apocryphal; Sena-
tor Lyndon Johnson, barnstorm-
ing the South in support of Sen-
ator Jack Kennedy, was report-
ed to be describing the nomi-
nee as "the grandson of a poor
Irish immigrant."
Confirmation that this type
of label must pay political di-
vidends came when we heard
(with our own ears) Senator
Dirkson repeatedly describe the
Senator from Arizona as the
"grandson of an immigrant ped-
lar."
As is often the case nowa-
days, "Dad" is the forgotten
man. There was no mention
of the man whose wealth con-
verted the pushcart into a band-
wagon.
But it was ever thus: It's
nice to have Dad's money
available to pick up the tabs,
but who wants the old man
around when you're courting in
the parlor? -- The Montreal
Star.
