That is one of the roles the Kennedy family plays in the public imagination: an icon of ideals, of what could be. The tragedies the Kennedys have suffered greatly overshadow their mis-steps in the hearts of many Americans. We will all remember—more than JFK’s affair with Marilyn Monroe or the Bay of Pigs—the words of a young Catholic president at his inaugural speech in 1960: “And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” It is these words, more than any political success or scandal, that embody what the Kennedys could be—what we all could be.
