"Both give a wider, productive focus to the individual's frustration of not being able to affect policy through normal channels," Hoffman says. "For young people looking for discipline and a focus it could help them feel a part of something bigger than themselves...
...mark instead by writing and through a number of charitable endeavors. But when I asked Kennedy last January about her surprising decision to publicly endorse Barack Obama after decades of guarding her private life, her answer hinted that President John F.
