Family Has Seen Share of Turmoil

Family Has Seen Share of Turmoil: "PITTSBURGH � If her husband is elected president, Teresa Heinz Kerry will be among America's most recognizable figures.

The Heinz family history is told all over this riverfront city � at a stylish museum named for Teresa's late husband, Sen. H.J. 'John' Heinz III, and in archives at Carnegie Mellon University. The name is stamped on parks, schools and a magnificent limestone chapel at the University of Pittsburgh"
