ackie Onassis raised two children who somehow came out normal, and that was the whole project. 🌇
Caroline was six when her father was killed and John Jr. had just turned three. They grew up with photographers at school gates, strangers photographing them in Central Park, and a father who existed for them mostly as other people's footage. By every reasonable expectation that should have produced two damaged adults.
She ran it deliberately. Public schools and local schools rather than seclusion. Buses, bicycles, friends' apartments, summer jobs. No trading on the name. She sent John Jr. to Africa and to a wilderness program as a teenager, partly to get him out of New York and partly so he would have a version of himself that had nothing to do with being a Kennedy. She was reportedly firm to the point of severity about manners, reading, and work.
Caroline became a lawyer and a writer. John Jr. went to Brown, failed the bar twice in public, passed it, and started a magazine. Neither of them ever described a childhood that sounded like a monument.
She told a friend that if you bungle raising your children, nothing else you do matters very much.

父親遇刺時，卡洛琳（Caroline）六歲，小約翰（John Jr.）剛滿三歲。他們的成長伴隨著校門口蹲守的攝影師、中央公園裡陌生人的鏡頭，以及一位主要存在於他人影像資料中的父親。依常理推斷，這樣的成長環境本該造就出兩個心理受創的成年人。
但她刻意引導了這一切。她讓孩子們就讀公立學校和社區學校，而不是過著與世隔絕的生活。他們搭乘公車、騎腳踏車、到朋友家玩耍、當暑期工。她從不利用家族名聲為孩子謀取特權。在小約翰青少年時期，她曾送他去非洲和參加野外生存訓練計畫；這既是為了讓他離開紐約，也是為了讓他能體驗一種與「甘迺迪家族成員」身分無關的自我。據說，她在禮儀、閱讀和工作態度方面要求極嚴，甚至近乎苛刻。
卡羅琳後來成為了一名律師和作家。小約翰就讀於布朗大學，雖曾兩次公開遭遇律師資格考試失利，但最終通過了考試，並創辦了一本雜誌。在他們兩人的敘述中，童年從未被描繪成一座高不可攀的「紀念碑」。
她曾對一位朋友說，如果把孩子養廢了，那你做的其他事情都無關緊要了。

Robert Reich: Trump’s bungling, bitchy White House
He’s the most inept, disorganized, sloppy, incompetent president in recent memory.

"Tarzan’s a dude who lives in a treehouse and talks to apes. He lives in Africa and has no black friends... To borrow a term I use very, very rarely, Tarzan is not 'woke.' He’s easily the least woke fictional character other than C. Thomas Howell in the movie Soul Man. I don’t care if you put the entire cast of Empire in Tarzan. I’m not interested."
"The tragic lead poisoning of the Flint water supply in Michigan is a study in bureaucratic bungling, racial inequity, and national media inattention. But the fallout from the crisis has obscured another lesson: There are consequences when those in power are able to simply circumvent the public will," writes ProPublica.

Architects complain that they are asked to behave more like mental health professionals than designers, clients complain that their architects and their mates do not understand them, and the stories of couples coming asunder, or of clients suing their architects, are legion. There are no hard numbers on exactly how many unions, either professional or marital, come to grief or end up in litigation as a result of bungled attempts at homemaking, but there is enough anecdotal evidence to suggest a lot of broken hearts.
But her friend counsels that Richie is a good man, revealing of her own husband, “Ernst could be so merciless. Richie softened him.” Encouraged by memories of happier times, Devon does resolve to try again, returning home, only for Richie’s bungled apology to reveal that he’s so out of it he thinks he’s been hanging out with Ernst. With Devon furtively taking the kids and fleeing, Richie is schooled in what rock bottom feels like, and the sting comes via flashback. Ernst was killed in a car accident in Coney Island with a wasted Richie at the wheel. No wonder all the talk of hot dogs was playing on his mind.
