History

With the passing of Walter Cronkite, Don Hewitt, Eunice Kennedy and now the passing of Edward Kennedy – this has been the summer of watching the passing of an era. I feel touched by the airings of the clips of Sen. Kennedy’s speech about the work, hopes and dreams continuing.

Based on my readings (and probably too much viewings of documentaries on Kennedys) Ted Kennedy wasn’t a perfect man, but as a US Senator – at least in his work – his service – he apparently tried his best, regardless of his personal stresses or problems. The various analyses have been interesting, including Chuck Todd’s on MSNBC.

Slate posts an Explainer on Kennedy.

I was really moved by VP Joe Biden’s personal thoughts about Kennedy, and how Kennedy had a personal impact in his life and career.
