SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY : THE LAST BROTHER
"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society.___Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.___Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change..... I believe that, in this generation, those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world."--- Robert Francis Kennedy
