Lynn Museum to revisit political family feud By Thomas Grillo ITEM STAFF LYNN — Robert F. Kennedy was a U.S. senator for less than four years before he was assassinated in 1968. But there are dozens of books written about him. John McCormack, a Massachusetts Democrat, served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 42 years and was speaker of the House from 1961 to 1971 when he championed landmark civil rights, ed- ucation, and healthcare legislation. Yet, not a single biography has been written about him. Until now. Garrison Nelson, 75, a Lynn native and 1959 Clas- sical High School graduate, has written “John Wil- liam McCormack: A Political Biography.” The professor of law, politics, and political behavior at the University of Vermont will present “Friendly New topping planned Enemies: The Kennedys, the McCormacks, and Na- tional Politics” at the Lynn Museum tonight at 6.
