Sa mère, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, avait abandonné son rôle présumé de mère aimante pour assumer pleinement celui de veuve en deuil et avait laissé la garde maternelle de son troisième enfant à Lem Billings, un homosexuel caché qui était le meilleur ami du président Kennedy il est devenu le mentor et la figure paternelle de Bobby ; Ethel était absente de la vie de son fils. Un des amis et camarades de classe de Bobby à Millbrook qui lui rendait visite à Hickory Hill a dit à l'auteur : « Ethel Kennedy n'était pas l'image que l'Amérique avait d'elle ». Il y avait des batailles constantes entre la mère et le fils au cours desquelles Ethel battait son fils aîné avec une brosse à cheveux. La vaste maison de Virginie est devenue connue sous le nom de « Horror Hill ». Des filles se sont faufilées sur le campus de l'école Millbrook pour voir le jeune descendant de Kennedy comme s'il était une rock star. Des groupies se sont rassemblées autour de lui, le piégeant sur les paliers des escaliers, le forçant à sauter par la fenêtre pour s'échapper. En tant que Kennedy, Bobby a profité de la situation. À Millbrook, Bobby était « dans ses années de drogué maladroit ». Lorsqu'il s'est inscrit à Harvard, il était « un animal magnifique » et considéré comme un « aimant à filles » dès son premier jour de cours. Les filles étaient excitées quand il leur montrait toutes ses cicatrices d'enfance et décrivait comment il les avait eues. Le désir de Bobby pour les études supérieures, et sa nature jalouse et compétitive envers les femmes, ont été soulignés par un incident qui s'est produit avec son cousin Christopher Kennedy Lawford, plus jeune de plusieurs années. Lorsque Bobby était en première année à Harvard, Lawford était en dernière année à Middlesex, un pensionnat chic nommé d'après la ville du Massachusetts traversée par Paul Revere lors de son légendaire voyage « Les Britanniques arrivent, les Britanniques arrivent ». L'une des filles que Bobby fréquentait avait entendu dire que Lawford prévoyait de voyager à travers le pays pour visiter des universités potentielles, et elle a demandé et il a accepté qu'elle l'accompagne. Bien que Lawford soit tombé amoureux. Ils sont retournés à Boston et leur histoire d'amour nait

Senator Robert F. Kennedy on the campaign trail (with his wife Ethel, pictured in the background), 1 March 1968.
"The morning after he announced his candidacy Kennedy appeared on Meet the Press and was asked if he would support President Johnson if Johnson became the nominee. Instead of dodging the question or finessing it by saying that of course he planned on winning the nomination, he gave an answer certain to anger Democratic Party bosses, who controlled the nomination process and considered loyalty a virtue trumping all others. If Johnson continued pursuing the same policies, Kennedy said, then he would have ��grave reservations” about supporting him. “I’m loyal to the Democratic Party,” he added, “but I feel stronger about the United States and mankind generally.”
- Thurston Clarke, "The Last Good Campaign"

jack schlossberg is better than me because if i were related to RFK junior id be showing up uninvited to family events and windmilling into him at high speeds. fully pulling up to functions like an aggressive inflatable man outside a car dealership. spinning like a fidget toy straight into his stupid ham face. tweets be damned, id be showing up at his window like cathy in wuthering heights dressed as the dead baby bear.

On September 16, 1960, shortly before John F. Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon for the U.S. Presidency, the Chicago Tribune pictures Mary Bowe at home in her apartment at 1120 Lake Shore Drive. She has just served the group dinner. At the 4B living room piano is Joan Bennett Kennedy, married to the President’s brother Edward. Also present is another of the soon-to-be President’s sisters-in-law, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, married to his brother Bobby. Also with Mary Bowe is Lorraine Richardson Green, wife of Judge Wendall Green, Illinois’s first African American circuit court judge, and Ms. Helen Touhy.

Ted, Jack (in sunglasses), Joe Sr., Ethel, and Jean dine outdoors at the Kennedy family home in Palm Beach, Florida, c. 1946-1948.
"I don’t want to give an impression that our lives somehow revolved around meals and mealtimes, but the fact was these were about the only times for Joe and me to talk with them and - more important, we both felt - to encourage them to have their own ideas and learn to speak up for them. Opinions, comments, questions, or confessions of sheer confusion or bewilderment or disbelief, at least something about current events during the mealtime conversations. I don’t want to leave the impression that these mealtime talks were mental drill sessions, because they weren’t. People told jokes, made wisecracks, hurled friendly insults, and hooted and ‘hollered’ at silly mistakes. They joshed and kidded and made faces and fooled around. Things that had happened at school, news or friends, opinions, likes and dislikes, a certain amount of chatter and gossip. The stuff of life, well spiced. I enjoyed listening to them talk."
- Rose Kennedy, "Times To Remember"
