Ted Kennedy’s Memoir

The Caucus has a good read about Ted Kennedy’s memoir, “True Compass,” which is scheduled to be published on Sept. 14:

Mr. Kennedy’s book provides unique details about life in America’s famous political family and covers the remarkable career that was celebrated last week in a series of memorials before his burial near his two brothers in Arlington National Cemetery. It provides his personal account of being stricken by the brain cancer that took his life and his decision to battle the disease as aggressively as he could.

In a bit of related news, at a Town Hall Health Care Reform event in Somerville, Massachusetts tonight, Senator John Kerry said he “would take up one of Sen. Edward Kennedy’s key political fights, pledging to the thousands who attended his town hall meeting Wednesday to push for the health care overhaul championed by his longtime Democratic colleague.”
