Political dynasties - a narrative

Pakistan is not the only country where political dynasties have played a major role to shape the country as well as the current political landscape of the world - in the United States political dynasties are as much part of the American culture and history as the legendary cowboys and Indians. Although America's political system was created to do away from the traditions of the British monarchy, American voters have repeatedly shown a fondness for and fascination with political dynasties, the U.S. version of royalty. This original package takes a look at several such famous families, including the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Kennedys and the Bushes, as well as the Clintons -- a possible dynasty in the making -- and compares their legacy and contributions to the Bhuttos, Pakistan's most famous political family. From the black and white TV screens to color television Imran Siddiqui reports on American political dynasties.
