I just heard the tribute to Sen. Kennedy at the Democrat convention. I'm impressed! Why, I just learned that Sen. Kennedy was instrumental in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and ending apartheid in South Africa. And people thought Al Gore wonderful for being instrumental in the creation of the internet! (I'd always thought it was DARPA, but I guess I was wrong. Also, Let's not forget Tim Berners-Lee's contribution to HTML and the birth of the World Wide Web.)
There were testimonials from all kinds of family members, friends, colleagues etc. However, I found something sorely missing. There was no testamonial from the family or friends of, God rest her soul, Mary Jo Kopechne. Why do you think this is? It seems to me this was an important episode in Sen. Kennedy's legacy.
