Stolen Moment
A foray into New York City's Central Park cost John F. Kennedy Jr., 13, his tennis racquet and 10-speed bike May 14 when a bigger, older teenager mugged him on a bicycle path. His Secret Service agent, in a nearby car, missed the incident. Two months later cops arrested a suspect who said he'd sold the bike for money to buy cocaine. Kennedy (right, mugging for the camera at a 1974 tennis tournament) would fight crime as an assistant district attorney in 1989. He now edits George magazine—and still rides a bike.
