The musicianship displayed in its complex arrangements...
...behest, Ethel threw herself with abandon into older brother Jack's 1946 campaign for a House seat from Massachusetts. The year after her graduation from Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in 1949, Ethel and Bobby?then a law student at the University of Virginia?were married in Greenwich, with Representative John F.
