For nearly three decades, too many people have died and millions more are living with HIV/AIDS' painful realities. Stated simply, it is far from over.

The Kennedys knew how to strive for noble causes, step by step. They would make deals, but only to benefit the best causes.

The lesson for Ted Kennedy was a simple one: never, ever give up because if you last long enough things can come around.
Charles D. Ellison | Posted 10.16.2009 | Politics
The compelling thing about Kennedy is that his style permeated his substance. It was his most profound attribute as both man and politician.
Pat Nolan | Posted 09.29.2009 | Politics
The patriot Sam Adams celebrated the "animated discourse of liberty." Neither Kennedy nor his staff disrespected my own strongly held views on abortion, gay marriage and judicial nominations.

Calling for some sort of decorous avoidance of politics during politicians' funerals is downright ridiculous. It'd be like eulogizing Charles Lindbergh and not mentioning airplanes.

It's not primarily Senator Kennedy's words that make him one of the great defenders of modern liberalism. His life itself is living proof of the central liberal idea that government can help make people's lives better.

For Ted's decades-long fight, and the daily struggle of people like Lennie, a woman who sees her struggle over health care as more horrific than a machete attack, we must pass a "Kennedy Option."
Gerald McEntee | Posted 09.27.2009 | Politics
Known as the "Lion of the Senate," we counted on Ted to fight for fairness in the workplace and serve as a voice for those whose labor makes this country great.

Ted Kennedy's legacy will live on through the millions of friends he made and nurtured over the years, both in and out of politics, both in and out of the United States, and among all races, religions and nationalities.

Strange as it seems, the best description of Senator Kennedy may have been offered by another Teddy -- Roosevelt -- more than two decades before Kennedy's birth.

Last week, Rep. Waxman paneled a discussion at UCLA on climate change. Later, he was gracious enough to sit down with me for an interview.

I arranged for Placido Domingo, the great tenor, to sing to Ted Kennedy on his 72nd B-day. Of course, Teddy loved to sing and joined in two-part harmony. He had a great baritone.

I learned a lot in the long campaign of 1980. Kennedy taught me loyalty, brotherhood, to never give in -- and to always fight.

The Republican Party announced today that it will honor the legacy of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy by continuing its campaign to defeat any prospect of health care reform.

The following is the transcript of Senator Edward Kennedy's speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Senator Kennedy's personal connection was his boundless humanity, and his recognition of ours. Already he is becoming history. Now the job of making history is in our hands.
Bob Cesca | Posted 09.26.2009 | Politics
If they're going to name the final healthcare reform bill after Senator Kennedy, we ought to be making legislative demands with voices as powerful and booming as the late senator's.
Sen. Harry Reid | Posted 09.26.2009 | Politics
It was the thrill of my lifetime to work with Ted Kennedy. He was a friend, the model of public service and an American icon.
Matt Browner Hamlin | Posted 09.26.2009 | Politics
Teddy never did endorse Senator Dodd for president, and I can't imagine how that may have hurt him. If it did, he never showed it to his staff -- and so people like me who worked for Dodd briefly bore a grudge that our boss would not.
