Even before an assassin’s bullet ended the life of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, the family had been battered by terrible events, beginning with the death of Joseph Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash during World War II.Again and again, freak accidents and assassinations, drug abuse and scandals have stalked the family. With every marriage, birth or high-profile success, there has seemed to come an accompanying tragedy.The misfortune has not skipped any generations; the famous ranks of ruddy-faced sons and daughters America watched grow up have had their own share. Just a partial list includes the untimely deaths of two of Bobby Kennedy's sons, and battles with substance abuse and cancer among Edward Kennedy's sons.
