Before long, Dunfey inns will have another feature. In August, when the entire 13-member clan jets to Dublin for a reunion on the ould sod, the family plans to recruit local barmaid talent to staff "Dunfey's Taverns," being set up in the family establishments...
...Rose to Freckles. For sheer spectacle, of course, no one outperforms the Kennedys, who, as Mother Rose remarked in California last week, "more or less inaugurated this business of family campaigning when John Kennedy ran for the Senate in 1952." Since Bobby's March 16 announcement, all the clan from Rose to Freckles, the Senator's Irish spaniel, has swarmed across the landscape to pursue voters.

Reporters seeing the familiar figures of the Kennedy sisters, Pierre Salinger, Kenny O'Donnell, Steve Smith, Tex Sorensen, and so many other names, now eight years older, have begun talking about the "Camelot commandos." Yet the aver age age of Bobby's top six political advisers is still only...
