You’re right it was Tsongas. Brooke’s divorce was a spectacle. Sounds like Babba Wah-Wah was the other woman.
I recall an interview long ago with Senator Brooke by Lovell Dyett on WBZ. After the Senator left, they were still taking calls and, lo and behold, his DAUGHTER called up. And was she steamed! She practically melted down on the air, it was one of the most bizarre things I ever heard. Her anger was directed at her father for whatever he did to her mother. Looks like we’re finding out what it was. (I think the wife was suffering from some illness or disability)
But as others have said, what in the world is the point in bringing this out now? How many people will be hurt who didn’t have to be?
