Tried to get on a plane back to Washington
Senator Kennedy, one of America’s greatest senators, was a passionate and committed supporter of our anti-apartheid struggle. When he visited South Africa, he stayed with us in our house in Soweto. We and the world owe him so much.
The people in this city have had a property-tax increase for a lot of years and they have had it, and they don't want another property-tax increase
I am excited to start this relationship with the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center
I would use the full power and influence of the White House to get a rollback in some areas
The FleetCenter exploded in the kind of electric reaction and uproarious applause reserved for the birth of a political star, louder and longer than even the response to the Democrats' hometown hero, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, an hour or so earlier
This problem transcends any one neighborhood, group or community
Baseball’s observance of Senator Kennedy’s death was disorganized, illogical and shabby.
As Joy Dryfoos makes clear, more services under the school roof mean better education too. Putting real social services in schools means more teachers can stop being part-time social workers and start being full-time teachers again.
One of the things I found in a short campaign against Ted Kennedy was that when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education, that was used to suggest I don't care about education ... So will there be some that get eliminated or combined? The answer is yes, but I'm not go...

Romney had the political skills and sense to realize there was a potential victory here. And at the time, he was looking for victories ... If there was any real leader in any of this, I would give that credit to Ted Kennedy, not Mitt Romney.
It's now my pleasure to introduce my collaborator and friend, Senator Edward Kennedy.
Senator Kennedy. … His work in Washington, and behind the scenes on Beacon Hill, was absolutely essential
From the grave, Ted Kennedy is involved in the Republican race for the presidency.
You heard the President pay tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy, who devoted his career to health care reform. But there was another quiet tribute at the Senator’s grave. A note left by his son, Congressman Patrick Kennedy. It said simply: ‘Dad — the unfinished business is done.’
