...Hyannisport compound on Cape Cod, where President John Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and their father each have a weathered, roomy summer "cottage." Nerve center of the compound is Father Joe Kennedy's "Big House" overlooking Nantucket Sound, a rambling, shingled, 18-room structure with a three-gabled roof and wide porches that is as New England as a swallowed r.

Bats and rats were ousted; a new roof was put on; broken windows were replaced; the interior was replastered; and more than 50 people began showing up for Sunday services...
