Bobby

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I had watched an episode of the Kennedys mini series on the History channel. Well, I have been hooked for the last few Thursday evenings, and tonight's was the final instalment.

Being the last one, it was therefore all really rather sad, as we watched first Jack and then Bobby come to untimely ends. The thing that really struck me was how Bobby, even more so than Jack, came across as the hero of the piece. How much of that was the writers exercising some poetic licence and how much is reality, I don't know. Makes me want to learn more about this amazing family.

How different the world might have been - twice over.
