Years ago, I attended an event at Hickory Hill, Robert F. Kennedy's family home in Virginia. It was an award ceremony for a prize given by the family, and many of the family were present. After lunch, Ethel Kennedy rose to speak--something she rarely did--but her eye caught the sculpted head of her slain husband, which was the award, propped on the table. At that, she broke down in tears, but only for a moment. Seeing her falter, the entire family got up from their seats and rushed to surround her--Ted Kennedy, her children, cousins. They...
...here-we-go flickered across the face of one of her Secret Service agents, plunged into a crowd of 50 well-wishers--the first spontaneous mosh-pit moment of Clinton's strange and improbable proto-campaign.

He dated actress Daryl Hannah and then married a model-like fashion-industry darling, and finally all the girls in New York had to stop daydreaming about catching his eye in a crowded restaurant. He did not seem destined for power, like Jack or Bobby or Teddy, and he did not seem to mind that a bit. Now he may have joined their legacy in another way, as a partner in the tragedy that is the chilling flip side of this...
...people have grown up so completely in the public eye as John Kennedy Jr. The little boy bravely saluting at his father's funeral grew up to be a magazine publisher ? and the cameras were there every step...
