Like many Americans (although the number is less in my generation), I am fascinated with the Kennedy family. Their stories -all of them - amaze me. There is so much drama, intrigue, ambition, and tragedy for one family.
Last night we watched Bobby, which tells the stories of all the other victims in the days leading up to Bobby Kennedy's shooting in the hotel kitchen. The movie was very good, but I was especially moved by the real footage of him and all the photographs shown during the credits at the end. He and his brothers (well, not so much Teddy, but he really is the oddball) are insanely handsome. It's not that they had classic good looks so much as they looked REGAL! You glance at these ordinary pictures of everyday events, and you realize that there was NOTHING ordinary about this family. They were the closest we've had to royalty.
