Getting Shanghaied with Ted Kennedy suited his extended family just fine. At the invitation of the Chinese government, eleven members of the clan trooped enthusiastically around the People's Republic on a 15-day tour. Besides his wife Joan and brood of three, Kennedy brought along three sisters, a brother-in-law, R.F.K.'s son Michael and J.F.K.'s daughter Caroline.

Paterfamilias Ted braved the Thunderbolt roller coaster with Teddy Jr., 15, sailed through the "Music Express" with Kara, 17, and happily bumped minicars with Patrick, 10. The occasion: a three-day family outing in western Massachusetts. Besides his own brood of three, Ted took along seven of their cousins. The agenda included canoeing, visiting a wildlife sanctuary and, of course, sleeping under the stars. The Kennedys also visited the home of Herman Melville in Pittsfield, and caught the Linda Ronstadt concert at Tanglewood, where they were joined by two more cousins...
