I really am so sick of the "Kennedys." They have always been sucked up to by the media and given special treatment by the courts. Poor Rosemary is not the only life ruined by that family.
More myth from Massachusetts:
Eunice Shriver, founded the Special Olympics in 1968, and with other family members

In order to call attention to the program, Anne Burke proposed a citywide track meet modeled after the Olympics which was endorsed by the city and park district. Many individuals from the park district had served as leaders and sports directors in both AAU national events and also in the U.S. Olympics events, plus Soldier Field was an ideal venue. Freeberg suggested they formulate a proposal for funding to Eunice Kennedy Shriver and the Kennedy Foundation.
