Kerry and McGuinness: Mall Buddies
Buried in this LA Times puff piece, I noticed a reference that John Kerry and former IRA Chief of Staff Martin McGuinness are apparently such good buddies that they hang out together at the mall on their days off.
Kerry did his best to browse like any other customer, but it was impossible to shrug off his situation. At one point, he was approached by Martin McGuinness, a leader of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the Irish Republican Army. McGuinness was in town to speak at Harvard, and the two men, who know each other, engaged in a detailed discussion of the peace process in Northern Ireland.
