		It was with the Kennedy White House -- and later, with Robert Kennedy's anti-war presidential primary -- that the terrain of American politics began its seismic shift from the smoke-filled room to the television screen.
		It was the Kennedys, too, who created the office-holding family as glamorous celebrities and established the country's long fascination with the Kennedy children, first seen playing under their father's desk and then standing mute at his graveside.
		It was the drive of Robert and Edward Kennedy, and later some of their children, to follow Jack into the electoral arena, that made the whole idea of a political dynasty safe for public consumption.

	Washingtonpost.com: Joseph Kennedy Won't Run in Fall
		Kennedy's withdrawal from this fall's election marked at least a pause, and perhaps an ending, for a political figure who had been widely seen as the leader of the ascendant generation in one of America's most illustrious and best-known political families.
		Addressing reporters at Citizens Energy headquarters in Boston, Kennedy, 45, eldest son of the slain Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, said it was the skiing death of his younger brother Michael on New Year's Eve that precipitated the decision to retire from the congressional office he has held for six two-year terms.
		Kennedy had his political side, serving as the partisan attacker against Republican senatorial candidate Mitt Romney in 1994 in his bid to unseat Joseph Kennedy's uncle, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).

		Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1962 to fill the seat held by his brother John F. Kennedy before he was elected to the presidency and he is now third in seniority in the Senate.

		Kennedy later said that he has "been enormously blessed with my heroes being members of my family." He said his parents taught him the importance of public service, and instilled in him the conviction that "politics is a noble profession."

		The fact that Kennedy let his boat be run over by a Jap destroyer was because he and his crew weren’t paying attention (sleeping, hung over etc.) Kennedy realized he might be court marshaled for his negligence, but his father had the money to turn disaster into a story that made Kennedy into a hero.
