When bringing to the attention of our readers articles written by others, I normally try to add some of my views, my own perspective—my two cents’ worth.

In the wake of Senator Kennedy’s death, three giants at the Washington Post have written opinion pieces on the Senator’s passing.

Yesterday, David S. Broder and George F. Will wrote “A Man Unbowed and Unchanged,” and “The Most Consequential Kennedy?”, respectively.

Today, Eugene Robinson published “A Prince’s Fate.”

Between these three journalism icons, they “say it all.”

There is nothing else for me to say than to encourage you to read all three master pieces.

   Just when I start thinking I might be harsh in my judgement, something else pops up saying I'm not.bad.

   Kennedy liked to joke about Chappaquiddick?

   “And he would ask people, 'have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?' That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too.”

   I hope my friends can find nothing so revolting to say about me after I pass.
