Jostled by newsmen, TV cameras, and his share of 200 spectators, Cousin John-John felt that too many people had come. "I'm squashed," he said to his mother, Aunt Jackie. But one guest couldn't make it at all: the U.S. Ambassador in Saigon, who had provided the Senator's son with his two middle names...
