There was something of Jay Gatsby about Joseph Patrick Kennedy, patriarch of the clan, father of Jack and Bobby, and grandfather of the new American health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Because, just as F Scott Fitzgerald's literary phantasm had feet of clay, the money, glamor and influence of the Kennedys is rooted in something more secretive and sordid than most care to admit.
As readers of Fitzgerald's 1925 masterpiece eventually discover, Gatsby's mesmerizing wealth comes not from the American virtues of hard work and optimism but from the sale of fraudulent bonds and Prohibition-era bootlegging.
