Jack and Jackie Kennedy were an example of charisma that you don't see anymore. They had class, education, style, respect, humor and intellect. Even people that disagreed with their politics liked them. After the shock of the shooting wore off, the sadness set in. There was something "new" about Kennedy - he was young and not afraid. He also made mistakes, as anybody would. He just seemed to exude a self-confidence, and friendliness, that nobody in politics has duplicated since. He was warned not to ride in a convertible through Dallas that day, and ignored the advice.

I saw his brother Robert F. Kennedy Sr. once in Brooklyn, when he was campaigning with Lyndon B. Johnson. The crowd was huge - RFK and LBJ were walking on parked cars!
