The last of the major players in the JFK era.

The death Tuesday of 95-year-old Sargent Shriver – who accomplished far more than any other presidential brother-in-law in American history – was the final period on an era. Long departed are the political power brokers who also waited in the cottage to hail JFK as the Democratic presidential nominee (Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Ohio Gov. Mike DiSalle, Connecticut boss John Bailey, Pennsylvania Gov. David Lawrence) – the men who, in Teddy White's words, "represented the system of power that policed the industrial civilization of Northeast America."
