The magazine -- along with several others -- was hemorrhaging readers 
with the advent of the internet but it's respected to this day for 
content that no other political magazine had at the time or has today.

He would've probably gotten into politics, and probably sooner than 
later until fate stepped in.

He wasn't that great of an athelete despite often being photographed 
shirtless and once being named People magazine's "Sexiest Man of the 
Year."

I learned all this by watching a two-hour CW network documentary about 
him, "I Am JFK Jr.," last week.

Mercifully they didn't delve into the Trump thing at all.
