Re the "the Kennedy curse": Klein "argues that the disastrous end to John F. Kennedy, Jr., and Carolyn Bessette’s lives in July of 1999 is part of persistent pattern — a curse made inevitable by the Kennedy’s history, psychology, and genetics. It may not be scientific but since it involves the Kennedys, Klein’s theory is no curse to magazine sales. Vanity Fair ran it as this month’s cover."
