...breed, and smooth-tongued David Ignatius Walsh, first Irishman ever elected to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. Walsh was some times a trial: whenever he paid a call, he insisted on quizzing Larry on his American history and catechism. But Curley was another, headier cup of tea: as a bug-eyed boy, Larry listened spellbound as his father and Curley conspired like Sinn Feiners about the ways to break the hated Yankee Republican grip on western Massachusetts.

France's Pierre Dreyfuss, president of state-owned Renault, pleaded with Detroit not to make a bug-sized car for Europe in direct competition with Renault, Volkswagen and Italy's gnatty Fiat. Henry Ford called Dreyfuss' plea "disgraceful," and is going ahead with plans for a Volkswagen-sized Ford, now dubbed the Cardinal...
