I was at that ...How did I miss this article before? I was at that rally and read about it the next day in the Bergen Evening Record. First it described the overflowing crowd. Ummm- it wasn't. The square wasn't half filled. Next the wildly enthusiastic crowd. Ummm- only those in the two or three rows closest to the stage.

As which point, my Dad turned to me and scolded, "That's Senator Kennedy to you !". "Yes Daddy", I murmured.
