Now " John-John " Kennedy -all but certain-
is gone. Yes, another very sad Kennedy family
tragedy. But it is senseless to sensationalize
and mystify it.
Newspaper headline: " Inexplicable curse of
Kennedys". ( London's The Sunday Telegraph )
The buzz around here was that John Kennedy Jr.
was taking a big risk as inexperienced pilot -with
an injured leg.
Just a week ago the gossip columns reported
that his wife was publicly describing him as a
" mouse ".
One can imagine him seething : " I'll show
YOU who's a mouse ! "
And who is more macho than a private pilot-
taking charge in a dangerous situation, his dear
wife -and sister-in-law -depending on him for
their very lives. ?
We can all feel compassion for our royal
family -all too human !
But the laws of physics, of nature , are
completely indifferent to WHO we are.
A stone, an airplane part, a dear wife, a
sister -in-law , a baby, a Kennedy will plummet
toward the earth at an acceleration -allowing
for friction - of 32 ft. per sec/per sec .
Nature is both brutally FAIR and horribly
UNJUST.

response:
Hi gang. Yesterday I was informed by an editor
of the Dallas Morning News that this Texas size
newspaper wanted to publish my letter " No Inexplicable
Curse of Kennedys " on their web site.
I've just read my letter there - it was letter
numero uno, the first one to click on.
Today the Providence Journal also published that
same letter.
Ron Marshall, I feel a little like the Texas
kid James Dean in " Giant " .
" I'm rich, Bick. I'm rich. " Of course we
know how it all ended for the Dean character
