My Take
Caroline Kennedy could have spent her life as a living monument, and I respect that she chose homework instead. Trained as a lawyer and accomplished as an author, she brought genuine diligence to her ambassadorships in Tokyo and Canberra rather than treating them as ceremonial postings. In Japan she was beloved for showing up — in disaster-hit regions, at local gatherings — and the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun in 2021 reflected real affection, not mere protocol. As the only surviving child of JFK she carries enormous inherited mythology, yet her record reads like someone determined to earn her own line in the family story.
