Indeed, the stars were right for Cornwall on Wednesday when the moon went in front of the sun and its shadow fell on the region for more than two minutes. Two million visitors were expected in Cornwall, the only part of England in the path of totality.

He has wondered aloud if he is "Kennedy enough," and he appeared to be following the more wobbly path of some Kennedys in high school when a substance-abuse problem landed him in a treatment center. At Providence College, "he wanted to get away from Washington," says former roommate Jim Vallee, who remembers that their early years were not "terribly political."
