	What Ted Kennedy Knows by Richard Cummings
		Kennedy rightly sees John Kerry as the Kennedy surrogate (his initials are JFK) and Edwards, the rising star of the Democratic Party from North Carolina, as the Terry Sanford surrogate.
		And with Kennedy as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Labor Committee, which he is likely to chair again as control of the Senate could easily shift, Sweeny and the Union Leaders (they sound like a Seventies rock group) were not going to buck him and back Gephardt.
		Kennedy even compared Bush to King George III in his speech to the convention, so ingrained is the royal metaphor in his mind.

		All of this lineage is important for this reason: Though the Kennedys may be fading from the national scene, the Bushes still have an opportunity to shape their legacy.
		Because John Kennedy was in office for so short a period -- about a quarter of the time the two Bushes will have been in the White House -- the emphasis on the presidential record is far less important in the case of the Kennedys as it is for the Bushes.
		In the Senate, however, the younger Kennedys were clear voices for justice for minorities and the poor and strong advocates for government solutions to social problems.

	Introduction
		From the day President Kennedy was killed, on November 22, 1963, until Lyndon Baines Johnson stepped down as President in January 1969, the United States government was under siege by hardened criminals, carpetbagger politicians, war mongering generals, and ruthless friends of Israel.
		Kennedy insisted that the missiles be removed, and ultimately, he prevailed; however, he was not boastful about his victory.
		Kennedy’s primary interest in Yemen was to hold the coalition of Islamic states together and deal with the conflict as a civil war.
