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.

Everytime I say "sure" when I mean "no," everytime I smile brightly when I'm exploding with rage, every time I imagine my man's ac...hievement is my own, I know the cheerleader never really died.
