Zusammenfassung

This is a story of the Kennedy brotherhood in three acts: Act I looks at JFK's presidency, as seen from Ted's front-row seat; Act II considers Robert Kennedy's five brief years as the family standard bearer; and Act III deals with Ted's 40-plus years in the Senate as keeper of the flame.

The Kennedy Legacy Zusammenfassung

The Kennedy Legacy: Jack, Bobby and Ted and a Family Dream Fulfilled Vincent Bzdek

The closing of Ted Kennedy's chapter in America's political and cultural life means that, for the first time perhaps, the real measure of the Kennedy legacy can finally be taken. John, Robert and Ted's individual stories can be seen as essentially one now, each successive brother striving to fulfill the interrupted promise of the brother before. This is a story of a brotherhood in three acts: Act I is John F. Kennedy's presidency, as seen from Ted's front-row seat; Act II is Robert Kennedy's five brief years as the family standard bearer, including his tenure in the Senate with his brother Ted and the memorable 82-day campaign that redefined the Kennedy legacy. Act III is Ted's 40-plus years in the Senate as keeper of the flame. How did the brothers pass the torch to each other? What have the three brothers left us collectively? And who carries the torch forward now? The Kennedy Legacy compellingly answers these questions and much more.
