Up to Date - 2/27/2009 Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy | ||||||||||||||
|
Boston Globe Washington bureau chief Peter E. Canellos talks about his newspaper's new book Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy about the Massachusetts Senator whose failures were distressingly human - divorce, drinking, philandering - and grandiose, but who after living in the shadow of the images of his older brothers John and Robert created his own, becoming the most successful senator of his generation, initiating and or helping to pass landmark legislation on immigration, gun control, education, health care, and civil rights.
