near Jackie Kennedy's Martha's Vineyard home, John Kennedy was on his way to a cousin's wedding in Hyannis Port, and on and on and on. But the game of piling up of such coincidences is too easy. What counts as one? The son of Jackie Kennedy's second husband, Aristotle Onassis, for example, also died in a small plane crash, and his daughter was reported to have died of a drug overdose. Does this count? I don't doubt that such levels of tragedy have afflicted other lesser-known families. But I don't believe there's any evidence for curses, nor any mystical significance of links and ironies. Does this lessen the heartbreak of the Kennedy and Bessette deaths? Unfortunately not.
