Caroline Kennedy was one of the most popular presidential kids. Her explots on the White House grounds with dogs and other animals delighted the public although her mother strictly limited press access to her. She and her little brother were always impeciably dressed. Wonderful images show affectionatemoments with her father. Her pony was named Macaroni. The American public was deeply affected with images of her and her mother kissing her father's casket in the Capitol Rotunda. Caroline and John were very close as they grew up. And both were devoted to their mother. President Johnson invited Jacki and the kids to the launching of the new carrier John F. Kennedy. Caroline had the honor of christening the ship. Caroline studied fine arts at Radcliffe and earned a degree from Columbia Law School. She worked on film and television with the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some of her worked has been broadcast on Public Television. She coauthored books on the Bill of Rights and the right to privacy with law school classmate Ellen Alderman. She married artist and museum designher Edwin Schlossberg in 1986. They brought up three children in New York. She briefly emerged as a candidate to fill Hilory Clinton's New York Senate seat after President Barack Obama chose Clinton as his secretary of state (December 2008). The Kennedy family had supported Senator Obama over Senator Clinton in his run for the presidency. This surprised many because Kennedy had intensely guarded her privacy. Governor Paterson and other key Democrats in the state were cool to the idea and interviews by even supportive journalists came off flat. She demonstrated a lack of familiarity with important issues and the intervies and other public statements seemed largely a repetition of standard liberal slogans. She soon decided to abandon the effort.

A British reader writes, "Because we had no commercial radio in Britain until the 1970s, there was what was known as "Pirate Radio" which operated between 1964 and 1968. These radio stations were operated from ships or forts in International Waters around the British coast outside the three-mile territorial limit, as it was illegal to broadcast from the mainland. But eventually legislation was introduced to make it a crime to supply such stations from the mainland and as a consequence these popular radio stations were forced off the air. One such radio station was Radio Caroline, which derived its name from Caroline Kennedy. One day in 1963 the radio station owner was flying to Dallas to buy the transmitters and on the flight he was reading a magazine, which showed a picture of Caroline Kennedy in the Oval Office of the White House. He said she was smiling and looked so happy and that was the image he wanted his radio station to convey to its listeners, so he named it Radio Caroline."
