In 2012, Ethel Kennedy sat in front of a camera held by her own daughter and refused to answer. Rory had been born six months after her father was shot. She asked about that night. Her mother declined, on film, in an authorized documentary. America knew the rest: eleven children, the rosary, touch football, the widow everyone approved of. Almost nobody knew she'd married down. The Skakel fortune was bigger than anything Bobby personally controlled. She outlived the money, the husband, and four of her children, and still decided what got said. This starts in Greenwich, 1945, with her sister.
