Peter, thank you for posting the Chappaquiddick portion from The taking of America. (The entire book is online btw). Over the next few days there will be a lot of talk about that murder and Ted's complicity, when in fact it was to force his silence about JFK and RFK. How can you have lost respect when you know what these pricks were capable of? Yes, he took a lot of secrets to his grave, including the truth about the murder of his nephew. Ted Kennedy had to bear far more than one human should ever endure, suffer in silence with only booze as solace, until he ultimately overcame that burdon as well. He died a true hero, imho. We have lost a real voice for the people.
