CAROLINE KENNEDY FEEDBACK

to the editor: funny, even though we were worlds apart, i always in my own way related to caroline kennedy ("caroline: just like us?," jan. 8). i was born in october of 1957, she in november of 1957. she grew up without a father, as did i. she lost her mother, she had children, her youngest is my daughter olivia's age-there was, at least on my part, an invisible bond. i too believe her to be a solid, head-on-her-shoulders type of woman, and i would put my money on her-not because of the instability and high jinks of the kennedy clan, but because i believe she has stayed in the shadows, watching and listening and is now ready to sprout her own wings. thanks for the laughs and the intelligent slant on things.
