MASSCHUSETTS IS A HEAVY PLACE: For lots of reasons historically, but Paul Revere, Tea Party lore, Pilgrims and all that stuff is so long ago. On our recent adventure out there, we did some Kennedy stuff. Went to JFK’s library, drove down the driveway at their Hyannis home and thought hard about what it means to be a Kennedy. From Jack all the way down to the kids bearing that name today.

Leigh put it a world better than I ever could, so read this: “Kennedy-ism.”
