Legacy Of Tragedy

For generations, the Kennedy family has experienced probably the greatest political success of any family in the U.S. - and has suffered more than its share of tragic misfortune. While the family's successes over the decades have been extraordinary, it's the tragedies, each new one evoking memories of the last, that are woven into the Kennedy myth. Some have even gone on to call it the Kennedy curse.
