Cole Porter's Birthday Gets a Boost From Nixon Peabody Lawyers

June 9 would have been the late Cole Porter's 116th birthday, and Nixon Peabody partners Andrew Potts and Randall Kelly, for their fifth year, did their best to throw a party Porter would have adored. The frivolities were for a good purpose: to drum up funds to help restore the Peru, Ind., home where Porter was born and wrote his first lyrics.

Ultimately, as the book shows, LBJ would flout fundamental law in his bid to be chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus after becoming vice president.
