Truly, the end of an era.
I remember both his brothers. Ted was the lost, last son, the eternal fuck-up living in the shadow of the mythologies around Jack and Bobby. And through hard work, and maybe a bit of penance of service, he became one of the greatest Senators in US history.
The nation, awash in ignorant and corrupt demagogues, is far poorer for his loss. I'm privileged, as a standard Eastern Irish Catholic liberal, to have lived and seen all three.
Yes. Liberal. Not apologizing.
