William Walton, a writer-turned-painter, has been a long-time friend of the President.
They arrived in Washington about the same time during the early postwar years: Kennedy as the young Congressman from Massachusetts ; ;
Walton, after a wartime stint with Time-Life, to become bureau chief for The New Republic.
Both lived in Georgetown, were unattached, and shared an active social life.
Walton, who soon made a break from journalism to become one of the capital's leading semi-abstract painters, vows that he and Kennedy never once discussed art in those days.
Nonetheless, they found common interests.
During last year's campaign, Kennedy asked Walton, an utter novice in organization politics, to assist him.
Walton dropped everything to serve as a district co-ordinator in the hard-fought Wisconsin primary and proved so useful that he was promoted to be liaison officer to critically important New York City.
