Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died - Plot & Excerpts
His doctors started him on chemotherapy treatments, and for a while he was so drained of color and vitality that he looked as though he was at death’s door.But he was an old hand at wrestling with the Angel of Death. Three of his brothers, a sister, and two nephews had all died violently; he had barely survived a plane crash that took the lives of two people; one of his sons had lost a leg to cancer; his daughter was a lung-cancer survivor; and, of course, Ted bore responsibility for the death of a young woman many years ago.Despite these dreadful experiences (or perhaps because of them), he refused to succumb to self-pity and despair. As the hellish chemo treatments proceeded, he regained his buoyant and cheerful disposition. To everyone who came to visit him, he had one message: He couldn’t wait to get back to campaigning for Barack Obama.But there was just one hitch. The inauguration of the next president of the United States was still more than seven months away, and Ted Kennedy had been discharged from the hospital with a grim prognosis.
