THE EVENT: At the center of the political imbroglio that came with being a member of the Kennedy clan in the 1950s and 60s was the eye of the storm - Bobby and Ethel Kennedy's charming estate, Hickory Hill. It's a small wonder that Kathleen Kennedy Townsend chose this elegant and comfortable setting to celebrate the release of her book contemplating the divide between faith and politics: Failing America's Faithful: How Today's Churches Are Mixing God with Politics and Losing Their Way. The A-list crowd included George Stevens, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Robert Sargeant Shriver Jr. and of course, Ethel Kennedy herself. The fi rst hour saw guests mingling on the patio and enjoying an al fresco bar with hors d'oeuvres while Kathleen and her mother formed a personal welcome committee out front. After the speeches, Kathleen signed copies of her book for admirers in the Hickory Hill dining room.
