George Romney

Phone call from a Boston Globe columnist--someone had shown him an article I had written back in the 1960s, for Fact magazine, about George Romney, then a Presidential candidate--a satirical article about his Mormonism--because Romney's son is Governor of Massachusetts, the columnist was interested in my old article--

I told him that most politicians probably compartmentalize their religious beliefs, a la JFK--and Mit Romney's religious beliefs can probably be safely ignored--in any case, I am thrilled that Mass has become the first state to provide health insurance for all its citizens--I may move there!--and if I were a voter in Mass, I would certainly vote for...a Kennedy.
