It must be my year for autobiography--I have three of them on my nightstand right now. This one is the memoir of the late Edward M. Kennedy. It's been really interesting to read. If people were expecting to get a deeper look into his personal life as an adult, they'll be disappointed. It does describe his childhood in detail, and gives plenty of insight as to why he and his siblings turned out the way they did. What I've found most interesting so far are his accounts of his work in the Senate. The health care bill that just passed? He'd been trying to get something passed since the 1960s. It's amazing to me that we have the same problems now that we had in 1972! I'll update this post when I finish the book.
