Ah, Fernandes.  I remember that Joseph Fernandes, owner of the 
supermarket chain, was the Republican candidate for state Treasurer in 
either 1964 or 1966.  There was an issue around his liquor licenses.  I 
think there was a law at the time that went something like "no person, 
directly or indirectly, or through a third person shall have more than 
three such licenses in the commonwealth."  IIRC he, his wife, and his 
company each had three licenses.  The controversy didn't die down any 
when Attorney General Edward Brooke, fellow Republican, ruled that this 
was OK.  Since the lesser Constitutional offices were being won 
automatically by Democrats in those days, it didn't really matter anyway.
