“We all have certain roles in our families that we are assigned from childhood,” Carole Radziwill would later observe about this conflict. “And most families, despite how one grows and changes over time, are comfortable keeping everyone in their roles. When you go back to visit, you find yourself in those same roles, even if you’ve perhaps outgrown them. I think John, now an adult starting his own magazine, had changed. And Carolyn helped him realize that he had grown into someone wiser, more professional, and more nuanced as a person than what everyone in his family was used to.”
