When not politicking back home, Jackson routinely spent Saturdays in his office, devoted evenings to dining with constituents who came to Washington or, more frequently, to poring over staff and technical reports, newspapers and magazines. On Sundays he would some times play softball with the Kennedy clan in Georgetown. Teammates describe him as an adequate second baseman but a rather weak hitter.

On the right stands Vassar Clements, ramrod straight, hair furled and molded...
Charles U. Daly, vice president for government and community affairs and a Kennedy intimate, was wearing a PT-109 tie clip when The Crimson visited him yesterday but would not comment on whether the Kennedy clan would be coming to the game.
