My Brief Time in John F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s Orbit The author Jeffrey Eugenides did not know John F. Kennedy, Jr., for a particularly long or intimate period, but he did experience the gravitational pull of America’s prince.

that time in college when "Sympathy For the Devil" started playing...

"Did John hear that?... Or had he stopped noticing things like that because they were everywhere? The lyric came and went, John showed no reaction, and we all danced on."

I still think the trailer for this film is the best thing about it. Every time I hear that Fatboy Slim song I think of this trailer.
