Teddy Joins His Brothers In Rest

Edward M. Kennedy, who represented Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate for 46 years and made a deeply personal connection to millions of Americans, was buried Saturday at Arlington National Cemetery, near his slain brothers. The last Kennedy brother, he fought personal demons and mourned public tragedies. He was called the hardest working member of the Senate — and possibly the most effective senator in the history of the chamber. He championed civil rights and immigration laws, health care reform and education. He continued working through 15 months of brain cancer, a disease that ultimately took his life on Aug. 25, 2009. He was 77.
