JFK Jr: The Man Behind the Myth, Ep. 7 -- Triumph and Loss

"Politics is about triumph and loss," John F. #Kennedy Jr. remarked at the launch of his new political magazine George on September 8, 1995. At age 34, he could not possibly have known that he had less than four years left to live, and just how self-eulogizing those words would ultimately turn out to be.

John interviewed the Reverend Billy Graham (one of his personal heroes) for an issue of George in 1996. He led the interview with a startlingly deep spiritual question:

"In this life, where does our own free will end and God's will begin?" John inquired. "Are we always responsible for our own actions, or is there a point at which God's will takes over?

"We have tremendous responsibility ourselves because God has given us a will of our own," Rev. Graham counseled him.

Those wise words would guide #JFKJr through the many important life choices that lay ahead: his choice of making Carolyn Bessette his wife, his choice to start a magazine against all odds; his choice of where, when, and how to enter elected politics, and ultimately that fateful choice to fly his private plane over the Atlantic Ocean on the dark night of July 16, 1999.
