    As I saw it not only was his own childhood important. His role as a father figure to Jack's; Bobby's and even Pat (Lawford)'s children as well as his own three (not forgetting his two step-children). So yes its clear that family was very significant to him.

In an interview he did in 1980 he literally fumbled around to find one plausible answer as to why he wanted to be President. And nobody should be President who doesn't truly covet the position. After seeing both his brothers literally die for the office I can almost understand why in Ted's defense.

However, phone records from the hotel room where he was staying that night indicated that he made 17 phone calls to friends, family members and associates BEFORE he called to report the accident at all. They had already discovered the car in the water by the time he called the authorities. He was trying to find a way out of being accountable.
