Prosecutor Jeffrey Locke eventually decided not to press charges of statutory rape, but the damage was done. It turned out that in 1995 Michael had sought treatment for alcoholism and then, a year later, for sex addiction. Joe, embroiled in public discord with his former wife over the circumstances of the annulment of their marriage, withdrew from the race. He and Michael were dubbed "poster boys for bad behavior" by cousin John F. Kennedy Jr. in an editorial in his magazine George...
...older generation of Kennedys died fighting for the great causes of the century: Joe Kennedy Jr. went down over the English Channel, fighting Hitler. His brothers John and Robert were assassinated in the midst of crusades--against communism, for civil rights--that they were prepared to die for. This younger branch of the family has always sailed smaller boats in higher winds. As a teenager, Michael jumped off a 75-ft. cliff above the Snake River in Wyoming during a rafting trip. Brother Robert, while at Harvard, leaped 10 feet between two six-story dorms on a dare...
Christopher Kennedy, 34, has bucked two second-generation Kennedy trends, becoming a businessman and a Midwesterner. Today he helps run the Merchandise Mart, the Kennedys' downtown-Chicago trade center started by grandfather Joe. Max Kennedy, 32, a University of Virginia law school graduate, was an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia for three years. Last fall he began business school at UCLA. Douglas Kennedy, 30, has switched over to what some Kennedys must consider the Other Side. He is a New York City-based reporter for the Fox News Channel. Youngest child Rory Kennedy, 29, is a documentary filmmaker...
Joseph Kennedy II, 45, the eldest son, launched his public-service career founding Citizens Energy Corp., which provides heating fuel to Boston's poor. In 1986 he inherited the family's 8th Congressional District, which sent Uncle J.F.K. to Washington in 1946. Joe's planned run for Governor this year was derailed by the baby-sitter problems of his brother and campaign manager Michael. That scandal aggravated a political atmosphere already soured by Shattered Faith, his first wife's bitter best seller about the annulment of their 12-year marriage...
...Livan Hernandez, reached Bahamian shores after escaping from Cuba on a 20-ft. raft stocked with water, sugar and four cans of Spam, he indignantly, or perhaps shrewdly, turned down an American offer of asylum. Indignantly, because his six shipmates were not also offered asylum. Shrewdly, because, as agent Joe Cubas advised, claiming citizenship in another country will allow him to avoid the major league baseball draft and immediately make big money as a free agent. El Duque and fellow sailor Alberto Hernandez (no relation) had been barred from baseball in Cuba for helping Livan escape...
