Legacy for Legacy's Sake

Is there a more overrated phenomenon in American culture than The Kennedys? I mean, sure John and Robert were powerful, inspirational leaders four decades ago. But the new book that's making waves, The Kennedy Curse, is just another example of how unnecessarily important the Kennedy name still is. Do we really need to know whether or not JFK Jr. and his wife were having marital problems when their lives ended four years ago? Just let them rest in peace, for goodness sakes (same goes for Jackie O). The media has gone out of its way to turn the Kennedys into an American royal family and it's sad that the public still doesn't know any better.
