Kennedys best and worst - 40 years later

Almost everyone over the age of 40 has a strong opinion of the Kennedy clan.
In 1969, 40 years ago, we saw evidence of the good that the Kennedys have done and the very worst.

On May 25th 1961, John F. Kennedy challenged this nation to put a man on the moon by the end of the '60s decade. That goal was accomplished with four and half months to spare and almost 6 years after the death of JFK.

On July 18th 1969, 2 days before man first set foot on the moon, Ted Kennedy drove his car off of a bridge after a long day of partying. Rather than summon the help that could have saved the life of his female companion, he decided to save his own alcohol-pickled skin.
