Bill,

I seriously believe Kennedy's ranking comes because of his assassination, and because of those surrounding him who wrote hagiographic works on him. I once had the opportunity to meet Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and asked him if books like his have contributed to an inflated sense of who Kennedy was, and his reply was "if they have, the stern eye of history will take care of it." Something about that answer has always bothered me.

Best
Rob
