#1 Ted Kennedy was the last Kennedy left. He had inherited a legend along with his name and fame, and he was almost as trapped by it as he was propelled by it. He was the president of the United States for three years, after his brother John F. Kennedy died in office.
#2 In early December, Kennedy flew to Memphis to attend the Democratic midterm convention. The weather was miserable, matching the mood of the party and the nation. Carter had spoken the evening before, and had stayed the night. He had submitted himself to questions from angry activists the next morning.
#3 Kennedy spoke at the convention on Saturday afternoon. He was not a featured speaker, but he was part of a health care panel that included two of Carter’s top advisers. Kennedy’s presence loomed over Carter’s domestic policy adviser, Stuart Eizenstat, as he pledged that the Carter administration would ask Congress to act on health insurance.
#4 In Memphis, Kennedy addressed the issue of health care reform, calling national health insurance the great unfinished business on the agenda of the Democratic Party. He stressed leadership, and the audience responded with passion.
