Sorry, i should have said he didn't have any relevance to Aust/NZ & don't see why it was front page news here.
I understand he did involved himself in many global issues & within the US. I'm glad he tried to help the peace process in NI & do something with the US HC system.

I know we are in a little (maybe big) bubble here in MA, but if our governor and legislature don't change the law of succession, we are going to have only one senator for 5 months, until a special election is held. Many are pushing for the governor to appoint an interim, so we can keep the needed vote in Congress, but the Democrats voted against this option five years ago, when Republicans wanted it. I think they are under pressure to get it done, but it shall be very interesting.

Ted Kennedy has been a senator from Mass my entire life--47 years. That's a long time! I just find that an interesting tidbit.
His whole family is just a walking tragedy. How hard it must have been to be the last one.
