Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I. greets people as he arrives for a President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis meeting, Sept. 27, 2017, in Washington. The 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, marked on Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2023, finds his family, and the country, at a moment many would not have imagined in JFK's lifetime.
