What would happen if John F. Kennedy had died in PT-109? (Joe Kennedy Jr, still dies as well ATL.) JPK Sr. would obviously be terribly grief-stricken, but how much would he push for Robert to become involved in politics? RFK, was always his mother's child after all. It's also been stated that that RFK wasn't into politics really until JFK's campaign for Congress. I can see RFK wanting to be on the Supreme Court.
Ted Kennedy, still very young, could have an entirely different career maybe he decides to become a journalist, like JFK originally wanted to do.

Now in terms of butterflies, they won't really become substantial until 1960. Johnson ends up being the Democratic nominee and chooses Hubert Humphrey as his running mate. Nixon narrowly wins in 1960, and that's where everything states to diverge from OTL.

I also wonder who Jacqueline Bouvier ends up marrying, but that's not important.
