That Man Kennedy Is Up Again
The article traces Joseph P Kennedy’s wartime political path from early finance roles to the Maritime Commission and ambassadorial post in London. It notes his public disagreements with Roosevelt over foreign policy, intermittent consideration for various war jobs, and recent reemergence in White House circles while discussing potential Civilian Supply duties under Byrnes. Kennedy is depicted as a resilient Irish-Catholic figure with a history of influence in Stevens and production policy, now seen as a possible wartime lieutenant in the administration.
