Kerry has a lot more in common than JFK that you would like to admit. But John was a real war hero while JFK was sort of a phony one (PT-109 wsa a trumped up story). What he didn't have (and Bush and JFK had) was a rich powerful daddy who made things easy for him. Otherwise, he has a lot in common with both of them, except he's head over heels superor to Bush in terms of character, courage, honesty and intellect.

Kerry, the common man touch... And yet another blurb: The Boston Herald, May 14, 1997 p008 Inside Track. Gayle Fee; Laura Raposa. Full Text: COPYRIGHT 1997 Boston Herald Hydrant removal gets Heinz out of parking pickle We don't know about you, but the Track is going to rest easier tonight knowing that Sen. John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz, will soon be able to park the Picklemobile right smack in front of their door at 19 Louisburg Square. Because that pesky fire hydrant - which fueled a flurry of bad press for the ketchup heiress last year when she was bagged blocking it with her white Jeep Cherokee - is being relocated around the corner to Pinckney Street. The Boston Fire Department confirmed yesterday that a request for the hydrant relocation came in from the Heinz-Kerrys less than a week ago. "The chief went up there himself and didn't see any problem with moving it," said a BFD spokesman. Talk about prompt service! Quick as you could say "the slooooooow ketchup," the jaw-clenching racket of jackhammers began blasting through Louisburg Square. Of course Mrs. Heinz was not in residence at the time. Kerry's people say the senator and the missus figured that the city could easily move the black-and-white hydrant around the corner since the sewer rats were in the neighborhood fixing a hinky sewer connection across the street on Pinckney. And besides, the hydrant - which caused such painful parking problems for Teresa's HJ 57 - is such an eyesore! No word on the ketchup queen's take on the dozen orange-and-white construction barrels lined up and down Pinckney. And - may we add - taking up precious parking spaces! "Now they'll be able to park directly in front of the door without complaints from neighbors," sniffed one fired-up Square-ite. Kerry's spokesman, Michael Meehan, told the Track the removal of the funky-looking fireplug - not to mention the earlier relocation of a grating Boston Edison grate - would improve the $3 million manse's "pictorial environment." "At least the photos will look better," he joked. We relish the thought!
