Carrie Fisher's new book apparently has a few revelations about the last Kennedy which are, if you've ever followed any of the Kennedys, well in line with past behavior. But what I found much more interesting was this twenty-plus years old account of what Ted Kennedy's life looked like just as the sun began to set on it. I recall reading at least part of the piece when it first came out. I think it's even more interesting now, in a kind of time-machine-y sort of way.
