...MURDERED. ANDREW KISSEL, 46, millionaire real estate developer and brother of "milkshake murder" victim Robert Kissel; by unknown assailants; in Greenwich, Connecticut. In 2005, a Hong Kong court convicted Nancy Kissel, Robert's wife, of bludgeoning the investment banker to death after serving him a milkshake laced with sedatives.

And Kennedy reciprocated: he laid himself bare for them, speaking of the death of his brother-something he'd never done publicly and rarely privately-and then he said, "My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus. He once wrote, 'Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,'" he paused, his voice quivering slightly as he caressed every word...
