Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, 34, oldest daughter of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, poses at her home with her two daughters Meghan (L) 8, and Maeve, 6 on February 10, 1986. Kathleen, a lawyer, is seeking the Democratic nomination in Maryland’s Second Congressional District. Seat is now occupied by Republican Helen Delich Bentley, 62, who is currently in Johns Hopkins Hospital for elective surgery related to a kidney disorder. Party officials said it is not clear yet if Mrs. Townsend will be opposed in the Democratic primary in September. (UPI Photo/Pam Price/Files)
