The curse of the Tangredi skips a generation but is otherwise still powerful.
Former US Senator from California who was the basis for Robert Redford's character in The Candidate. Tunney quickly lost favor with the electorate, however, and was voted out after a single term. He was also the son of former heavyweight champion (and answer in the current Tangredi puzzle) Gene Tunney.
Age 83

Re: RIP John Tunney
He lost because he was too conservative. Tom Hayden ran against him but came in second. Many of Hayden's supporters didn't turn out for Tunney.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
