Caroline Kennedy throwing a balloon-filled birthday party at the Palm Wednesday night for son Jack Schlossberg -- her youngest, who turned 18 that day. With much of the extended clan in D.C. for JFK 50th anniversary festivities, a smaller clique of about 20 gathered in Dupont steakhouse's front dining room -- with John Kerry dropping in to say hello after leaving the state dinner.
