一个美国真正意义的royal family的最后一个男子去世了,这个家族不是靠血统而是靠对国家的牺牲来建立起高贵气质的。肯尼迪兄弟们多少代表美国精神:喜欢冒险和理想主义。
有时候到当年JFK喜欢去的餐馆吃午饭,看到照片上餐馆忙碌时他出面帮忙的情景。感觉这个家族是有强烈平民意识的贵族。

应该是the last surviving brother of the enduring political dynasty (我猜想肯尼迪家族中还有男的存在吧?刚才看电视,出来一个Robert Kennedy,JR.,是 爱德华.肯尼迪的侄儿: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy,_Jr. )

这是我去年夏天在Hyannis, MA照的。肯尼迪的老家。今天他的棺材就是从这里送到波士顿的。

忍不住share this info. 我已经前晚在CNN晚间Campbell Brown节目里先睹为快了.
孩童时的Teddy 跟去到英国做大使的父亲在伦敦念小学,有一天回来家里,问了父亲一个问题 (自己去看吧) , 我自己特别被那个小男孩的问题和问问题的认真感动。 对人对平民真诚的同情、关怀、悲悯在儿童的Teddy就已彰显。
青年Teddy比Tom Cruise 年轻时还帅呢,假如你认为Tom Cruise ever帅过的话。Teddy 比 Tom 更贵族气。(跑题了)

I don't watch TV, just read these things Ted Kennedy's son said in the funeral. Ideology dies, but characters stay.
"My father taught me that even our most profound losses are survivable, and that is -- it is what we do with that loss, our ability to transform it into a positive event."
"My father taught me to treat everyone I meet, no matter what station in life, with the same dignity and respect."
"He even taught me some of life's harder lessons, such as how to like Republicans. He once told me -- he said Teddy, Republicans love this country just as much as I do."
