DATE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2009 MR. LYNN: Thanks very much, Nancy. Nancy had a way of working with Senator Kennedy. As you know, he had an unforgettable speaking style. Face reddened and fist pounding-that Boston Brahmin accent. You might think that all came naturally, and usually it did. But occasionally, on one topic or another, he might lag a bit.
