| Description | "I remember," said Bob Killian, standing in the Summit Tavern, surrounded by old family friends and supporters from the Irish section of Hartford called Frog Hollow. "I remember when we used to sing that song. The Hollows come out every night. They rumble and tumble and fight."
"That's right, Bobby," shouted Bud Mann, the white-haired proprietor, who has been Hartford's city treasurer for almost half his 66 years of life. "But I've never seen a fight like this one in my whole life."
On the wall behind Mann was a blown-up newspaper photograph of Irish Bob Killian extending his hand in greeting to Ella Grasso, elected four years ago as the first woman and the first Italian-American governor in Connecticut's history. She is gazing at him addly, her hands clasped before her. According to a story believed by everyone in the Summit, she was cursing him in a stage whisper the photographer could overhear. |
