Alike in so many ways, united by so many indestructible bonds, the two brothers were still different men. John Kennedy remained, a...s Paul Dever had said, the Brahmin; Robert, the Puritan. In English terms one was a Whig, the other, a Radical.

Meeting Robert for the first time in 1963, Roy Jenkins of England thought him "staccato, inarticulate ... much less rounded, much less widely informed, much less at ease with the world of power than his brother."
