Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, has indicated that he will be candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress from the Eleventh Congressional District." In very good to fine condition, with overall crazing to the emulsion, some editorial touch-up above and beside his head, and losses along the edge of the caption.
