No Myth of Camelot?

It's not exactly a secret that in the years following his assassination that aides and people close to John F. Kennedy made a concerted effort to build up and polish the myths around his presidency. One of the largest ones being Jacqueline Kennedy's creation of the whole Camelot aspect in her first interview after the events in Dallas when Life magazine reporter Theodore White was invited out to Hyannis. After interviewing her White then phoned his editors to dictate his story for almost immediate publishing, only for them to demure being somewhat sceptical about it plus feeling that it was too sentimental and inappropriate for the situation. Kennedy who was hovering nearby and caught most of the gist of this insisted that the Camelot parts be included and the editors relented. But what if they hadn't? Now she could well have simply gone to some other journalists to try and sell it but for this thread assume that no-one else bites either. Being cut down in his prime before any disappointments can set in meant he was always going to receive a certain amount of adulation, but would there be any major effects if that hadn't crossed over in almost hagiography?
