Joe Kennedy, Sr. was Boston’s version of Al Capone. He should have been charged with treason during WWII when he was ambassador to GB.Joe was passing secrets to the Germans. It got so bad, Roosevelt had to set up a separaste communications line with Churchill.

There was a light side?
Did he ever do anything nice?

Doesn't referring to Kennedy's "dark" side infer that there was another side...A "bright" side?
IMHO, he had no "dark" side...He was a totally "dark" person with a totally "dark" soul...

...an interesting vignette -- JFK and Joe Sr are arguing that the slightly older German photographer (the one with some Hitler connections) JFK was dating at the time wasn't right for him. She recounted that, when JFK would storm out to cool down, Joe Sr would hit on her.Yeah, but did he drool and claim it was chap stick? Or demand an end to WALLS but lived in a house with ten foot walls? Inquiring minds and all...

I believe Orson Welles movie Citizen Kane, the revered film chronicling the rise and fall of Charles Foster Kane, an illustrious yet treacherous American magnate was not based on Joe Kennedy but on Randolph Hurst, the newspaper magnate.

I recommend the late Bill Gill’s book, ‘The Godfather.” Bill told me of one of Joe Kennedy’s illegal stunts that was so shameful his publisher excised if from the book out of fear of retribution.

After his stroke, Joe Sr could only make one sound, “no”; there’s a poignant anecdote (same book) from JFK’s presidency — he was told that The Ambassador was on the line (that was what they called Joe Sr during that period), and JFK took the call, then he did a facepalm while his father’s voice could be heard coming from the earpiece, “no, no, no, no, no, no, no...”
