“Sometimes Bobby didn’t think that family solidarity required him to be my protector. One day I got into a fight [at the boarding school we went to together] with a boy named Plowden. He was a head taller than me, and soon had the better of me, twisting my arm up between my shoulder blades. Bobby came walking past, and I shouted to him, ‘We’re fighting because he says the Plowdens are better than the Kennedys!’
Bobby walked on. As he left me behind, he called back, ‘You have to learn to fight your own battles in life.’”
