1. The Kennedy Family
(Photograph: years before he would die in a plane crash, John F Kennedy Jr. salutes the coffin of his assassinated father).
Yet another Kennedy died too young. That’s the backbone of the Camelot curse. The story of the Kennedys is a story about wealth, power, privilege and prestige. But it’s also the story of a family’s tragic fall from grace. Did vengeful gods curse the Kennedys because they were jealous of their power and prestige, or is the number of tragedies that befell America’s royal clan the natural fallout of a family riddled with hubris and entitlement? Perhaps it depends on which side of the political fence you’re on.
The end of “Camelot” began with the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy in 1963, and was cemented with the assassination of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968. Senator Edward Kennedy is the only one of four brothers to die from natural causes, but the scandal surrounding his drunken car crash on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969, and the death of campaign aid Mary Jo Kopechne, stalked him for the rest of his life. Murder, rape, suicide, alcoholism, depression, a skiing accident, plane crashes, overdoses, relentless womanizing, and a host other crimes and misdemeanors have haunted the Kennedys.
