Kennedy continued: v “And the worst . part of it, there are two\ questions I have to ask Mr. Kennédy that are most important, yet never get the opportunity. I think I all have to go to some meeting here Mr. Kennedy is to make an ddress and when he is'speakjng.I shall ‘heckle’ him, ‘I'm going fo cry out. ‘ < ‘ahn L.
