50 years after JFK's death, daughter takes public office in Tokyo
None
Caroline Kennedy, daughter of slain US President John F. Kennedy, arrived in Japan on Friday to take up her first high profile job in public office, making a late start to a political career for which her family is renowned.
Kennedy, sworn in as US ambassador two days ago, received a warm welcome at Tokyo's Narita Airport, smiling and waving at reporters, and carrying a bouquet of flowers. The 55-year-old lawyer takes up the post a week before the 50th anniversary of her father's assassination. (Reuters)
