Enter the Greek shipping tycoon. Seventeen days late and half a world away, Rory Kennedy?s marriage to Mark Bailey went off privately and without fanfare on Monday night. The refuge? Not the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport anymore ? too haunted ? but the Vardinoyiannis compound in Ekali, a suburb of Athens, an estate that not only subsumes an entire block but is most helpfully surrounded by a nine-foot wall. All courtesy of Vardis Vardinoyiannis, whose wife knows the bride?s aunt, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, from a few Special-Olympics bake sales, and all impenetrable to a ravenous press which...
...think Caroline has designs on elected office, but she has become more aggressive lately about promoting public service. In May she touted the Profile in Courage Award on the Today show "as a way of showing how important it is for people to continue to celebrate and expect political courage."

This is what Cronin, appointed Hudson Riverkeeper in 1983, does for a living. He and his friend and chief prosecuting attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr.--two serious and good-humored men in their late 40s who look like kids, think like politicians and talk like poets--have formed a partnership based on vigilance and the law. With the help of students from the Environmental Litigation Clinic at the Pace University School of Law, Cronin and Kennedy have brought more than 150 legal actions against the river's polluters. Their most important case to date led to the 1997 watershed agreement...
Townsend has discovered her political talents relatively late in life, but her husband believes it is a natural development for her. Kathleen is still shaping things, but this time it's civic life. "Politics is like pottery, only with a different kind of clay...
