11 p.m. news said he was doing ok and resting comfortably. It was not
a stroke and may have been something to do with the carotid artery surgery
he had earlier this year. He had company all day and the family finally
called all the out of town relatives and told them he was not in any danger
and that they did not have to come to Boston. That must have relieved many
of their worries.

MGH has a great neurology department and I am sure the head of the Dept. is
looking after Ted. The doctors will have something to say on Monday I am sure. Keep the prayers and good wishes going until then…but I feel he
will come out of this scare with no ill effects.

GHWB used to say, whenever the Kennedy sons came up in conversation, “Well, just wait until you see what my boys do!”

They’ve done quite well.

You bring up an interesting point. Makes me wonder if (among other things) it has something to do with being so far removed from the original successful primogenitor? Either there never was a social conscience or it’s bred out while idling over too many country club martinis?

I suppose there are those whose own failings drive them to making atonement through service? In the case of the Kennedy family, you’d have to factor in the religious training as well. I admire Ted Kennedy as an authentic man who chose to fight for those who need his voice. He could have stepped into the shadows. Instead he has stayed front and center, enduring the constant slings and arrows of his enemies - for we, the people.

seizure is kind of an all purpose word — it is used for fainting, heart attacks etc — doesn’t really suggest much information about what is actually going on
