    The True Emblem of Kennedy Power: Teddy

    Teddy Kennedy was the unworthy recipient of the hopes and dreams that were successively placed in his three elder brothers. Without their talents, accomplishments--and deaths--the creation of the "Lion of the Senate" myth by the Kennedy media machine would have been hard to swallow.

    Thus ends Camelot, anticlimactically.
