KENNEDY Senteney 1986, and laughing as the usually staid senior correspon-dents, in silly costumes and song. accompanied by the Marine Corps Bend. lampooned the newsiest Government figures of the times, from the President on down,

Midway through the gaffs. there was a scuffing of chairs and a craning of necks. It was time for Ted Kennedy to *peek for the Democratic party Practically all of the 600 or so in the room had al-ready written him off as a potential presidential nominee. He had been the unchallenged front-runner until the tragedy el C happaq uiddl ck, and then. es if to Clinch his political doom, Senate Democrats had voted him out as their assistant leader. the "whip" lob, in January. He was through, the experts agreed. at least for 1972. But they leaned forward expectantly to lis-ten. He wes through, but he was a Kennedy, the last of the Kennedys. How would he do?

He wes nervoue, pressing down a shock of thick reddish-brown heir over his forehead. He blinked in the spotlight and cleared his throat. He knew that his future might be written in the pages he put on the lectern. His mouth wee pinched, but it twitched toward a grin and hie blue eyes danced in anticipation of the merry mischief he was about to commit, in the name of the Gridiron's hallowed "spirit of high good humor."

He began softly. It was a plea-sure to be among no many good friends_ And he ended softly, al-most in a whisper: "And as we look to the future, I think we all share a goal, put down In the words of Aeschylus. a goal which my broth-ers used to quote—To tame the savageness of man end make gen-tle the life of the world: "

Eyes flickered_ Somebody coughed. A beet or two of silence, then the ovation broke like a thun-derstorm. Between the opening curtsy and that closing prayer, he was happily flipping lirecrackera at the big names of politics. HIS booming baritone, his Boston-insh way-up-in-the-nose vowels and his explosive laughter at his own jokes Infected the banquet hall and set it to roaring. The Establishment caught the full significance of his targets, all White House potentials In 1972—Including himself.

Dick Nixon got It first: "The Gridiron Club [In choosing its offi-cers} melded long ago something that many of us have realized only lately—Mat the best President le a one-term President '' A pause here for the knowing laughter. "We ere. of course, disappointed that Presi-dent Nixon couldn't be with us to-night. But we understand that he had an important previous engage-
