The Last Lion; The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy
By Peter Canellos
"A respectful but not stuffy portrait of Edward Kennedy, the playboy of legendary appetites turned senior statesman.Upon learning last spring that Kennedy had been stricken with cancer, John McCain lauded him as "the last lion of the Senate," adding that "he remains the single most effective member of the Senate if you want to get results." By this account, assembled by Canellos and a team of seasoned reporters from the Boston Globe, McCain's encomium seems right on the mark. Kennedy has been notable in pushing through a wide variety of laws and programs, particularly ones that concern health, education and workers' rights. It was not always that way. "
