thanks so much. let us begin this national conversation with a moment that begins. senator ted kennedy's final journey. moments ago, he left the kennedy compound for the very last time. it is a moment that really needs no words.

you see some of the family members in tears. that hurst on its way to boston where senator kennedy will lie in repose. i want to stop and show you this man in life. in fact, filled with life. you are about to see ted kennedy

from just a couple of years ago, mind you. this is 2007. he is fighting for the little guy. he is blasting rich guys, even though he is one of them. he says, they are worrying more about themselves than the american worker. listen to this. >> what is the price we asked the other side? what is the price you want from these working men and women? what cost? how much more do we have to give to the private sector and business? how many billion? >> he is talking about getting the minimum wage up. the motorcade is making its way to the jfk library and museum in washington. mary snow is there. she will be following this throughout the course of the evening. mary, what are we learning. >> reporter: rick, it is a 70-mile route. right now at the jfk library, it is closed to the public and will reopen at 6:00 p.m. eastern

time. the motorcade's last destination along that route. senator kennedy's body will lie in repose. it will be taken into a room called the smith center. the library said there are about 600 people that can be fit in there. members of the public will be allowed to go in and pay their last respects. there will be a military honor guard and members of the family, friends and staff members will also be keeping vigil alongside the closed casket. members of the public, this will be their time to say good-bye. people have been lining up, some for hours, to pay their last respects. they consider themselves, as you just mentioned, the so-called little guy. the people of massachusetts, who say that they can't really imagine a future without senator kennedy. he spent 47 years in the senate and has become a big part of their lives, rick. >> thanks so much, mary. there are a couple of thing we will be doing for you throughout this hour. we have chad myers on stand by. we want to share with you as

many pictures as we can possibly get life of the actual motorcade. there will be parts of this motorcade that will be restricted. another, we won't be able to see the pictures of the actual motorcade, because they will be flying through a restricted fly zone. helicopters won't be able to get the shot. other areas where they can get over a bypass and get on the side and have a television camera thars there, we will be able to cut in and show you the motorcade and the reaction from so many americans that want to say their last farewell to this senator who led the nation for 45 years. there is a couple other people i want to introduce you to now. joining us now to help get us through this hour. cnn senior political analyst, david gergen and columnist, patricia murphy. my thanks to both of you for being with us. david, that speech that i just played. it was just a little part of the speech. it was before, and this is interesting, here is this guy fighting are to minimum wage for

the average american worker, before the bottom fell out of the economy, by the way. that's important to know. when we now know that a lot of the suits, a lot of the people he was scolding there, were making a lot of money and the little guys, the rest of us, ended up paying for it. once again, this is a ted kennedy with ledges racial where he was being kind of appreciated, wasn't he? >> he became, just as his brother, bobby, had become, and he picked up that banner after bobby was assassinated. he became the voice of fashion for people who were down and out, people on the margins, people who were poor and didn't have an equal opportunity and equal shot in life. that's why he was so beloved by that base. he took on his own class. here in hyannis part, the motorcade has just left. it is a very wonderful neighborhood. a lot of friendlyness here. these are also very expensive

homes. you don't have a sea view out here for less than $3 million, $4 million. they have several homes here. he came from a class with money. his father, obviously, made a lot of money. i think what endeared him to so many americans was that he went against and did become a strong champion of minimum wage, of national health insurance, education reform, no child left behind and many others. >> as a matter of fact, david, i am going to go through a list here. listen to this list. murph, i want to bring you into this conversation. i think this is interesting. this is a list of the meem who have been helped by this man's legislation, stuff he passed, endorsed, supported. if you receive a pension or you earn minimum wage, if you send your children to a public school or teach at a public school, if yous lo the your job but you kept health insurance, if you took leave from work to care for a family member, if you have had cancer, if you have had a disabled child, if you are a female college athlete, if you are an immigrant from elsewhere

than europe in the past 45 years, if you are an african-american in the south who has voted in the past 45 years or a soldier who has benefited from body armor or armed vehicles, as you watch this coverage today, you can say thank you to ted kennedy. murph, that's significant, isn't it? >> it is. the breath of his experience and his impact on people it is almost impossible to overstate t i have been talking to leaders of progressive organizations since the senator died. they said they really don't know who to turn to. ted kennedy was always their first choice of somebody to lead the charge. even here in you go wa, you just look at the impact he has had here on the city. nobody on capitol hill has ever worked here without ted kennedy being a member of the senate. he was there for 47 years. nobody has ever experienced a time without him here. you mentioned all of those groups. if you are in a wheelchair, he had everything to do with the americans with disability acts. he was not done with his work.

he was trying to get d.c. voting rights and gays in the military, that ban lifted. he was still in the middle of a lot of important work. that's why his voice is particularly missed right now. >> when you think of something like this, we often think of presidents. we don't have enough of a sense of our history. someone like yourself or david obviously do. when you look back on this man's career over 45 years, the ten presidents that he worked with, there are some amazing accomplishments. there are low moments as well. these are particularly important. i will show you, by the way -- we have gathered some tape that i can't wait to get both of your reaction on, him giving his brother's eulogy, giving the rest of that speech moments ago, him when his brothers died, we have all of this. some of these rare moments. they are in black and white. we will be looking at them together. stay with us. we will be taking you through this and the live pictures as we remember ted kennedy. stay with us. less able to absorb calcium. he recommended citracal.

it's a different kind of calcium. calcium citrate. with vitamin d... for unsurpassed absorption, to nourish your bones. (announcer) what are you going to miss when you have an allergy attack? achoo! (announcer) benadryl is more effective than claritin at relieving your worst symptoms. and works when you need it most. benadryl. you can't pause life.

ted kennedy's motorcade is right there. there is the hearse with his body. it will be going through highways and byways, some of them, at least in a couple of cases, named after the matriarch of his family, his mother, rose. chad myers, can you give us where he is now. he started in hyannis port. he is going to end up in boston proper. >> and ran through barn stabl and is now up on the pilgrim highw highway on up near plymouth bay. halfway to boston.

making very good time off the highway. then, it gets very, very complicated. we make u tur-turns and lefts a rights. >> he is going to go to the church his mother was buried and by faneuil hall where the mayor is going to ring the bell and end up at the namesake museum and library for his brother, jfk, where he will lie in repose. those are pretty much the headlines of this trip as we take you through it. there is something else. as we watch this -- there is something else i want to share with you now. we spent the last couple of days going through videos and going through moments trying to find the things that speak of this man's life. there was nothing in the world that joe kennedy, his dad, as you remember, joseph kennedy, wanted more than to have accomplished, smart, famous sons. there were four of these sons as

you probably know. there was joseph, john, they called jack, bobby, and teddy. historians say that joseph was destined to be the president. he died in combat during world war ii. that left jack, who did become president, until he was assassinated in 1963. then, it was up to bobby, who was a hair's breath from the presidency, until he was assassinated five years later. by now, the family patriarch was too weak to take the news about all his son's death. so when finally bobby died, they turned off the tv, unplugged it so he wouldn't be able to see it, because they thought it would just destroy him. eventually, it did. i want you to hear now this. this is from the kennedy matriarch. this is rose kennedy that you are about to hear. she is talking about how much teddy kennedy would do anything at all to impress his three big brothers. >> i can remember him, his

oldest brother, joe, teaching him and encouraging him to dive from a big cliff down at eaten rock. i was there quite by accident that afternoon. and i saw this little youngster at the top of the rock and his brother was the one saying, dive, teddy. of course, teddy dove, because he knew joe was there to save him if he sank. >> that's the thing about it. when you hear the kennedy's family stories, they sound like any american story. we are going to be bringing in murph and david into that conversation in just a little bit. let's try and get a break in right now and then we'll continue to take you along this motorcade. it is getting into boston now. as it does, we'll be able to visualize it for you as best we can. we are also going to be showing you videos you have never seen before. have you heard what is considered by most one of the

greatest speeches or eulogies ever given, teddy kennedy, when his brother, bobby, died. we have found video to put underneath it that you have likely never seen. it was when body was interred at arlington national cemetery. stay with us. we'll be right back. so much out of so little. the same is true with bath tissue too. introducing new charmin ultra soft. its new ultra soft design is softer than before. and it has so much absorbency, you can use 7 sheets vs. 28 of the leading value brand. so your family can get more mileage out of less.

welcome back. i'm rick sanchez. you are watching live coverage of senator ted kennedy. that's his motorcade. that's the hearse that is now carrying his casket. it is heading first to stop maybe briefly. hopefully, we will be able to watch this at the cemetery or the church where his mother was buried and where she attended, by the way. also, it will go on then to fan y you'll hall and the jfk library and museum. david, let me bring you back into this conversation. as i watched rose kennedy, i thought to myself, so many americans consider the kennedys regal and some call it royal. there was part of the kennedy family that was so every man.

the pictures playing football in the front yard and getting into trouble and the story of joseph talking to his sons and the mother's real matriarchal dominance over the boys and the girls. this was not regal. this was just an american family. >> it is. joe kennedy and rose kennedy, the patriarch, matriarch, raised their kids with three principles at the family dinner table, they sort of bear down on them. family, faith, and country. family always came first. so if you talk to the neighbors here, i was just talking to a fellow that grew up on this street. he remembers john kennedy flying in by helicopter. all the kids would be pulling carts to go after the helicopter and he would go off and play, the football game. they were very competitive, you know. they called themselves the warriors. teddy was the happy warrior. they loved these family games.

one of the reasons this was inspiring about teddy kennedy, he was the chubby little fellow never expected to do well. >> if we can go back to that. we just had a picture going -- let's go back one more. look at this picture. it almost looks like his brothers are so handsome and he is the pudgy-faced one on the right. one of his sisters called teddy business cu biscuits and pumuffins. when his brother died young and he inherited the camelot flame, that's when he bore down on life and turned himself into something he wasn't. he wanted to live up to the standards set by his brothers, sisters, older sisters and parents. it was, in part, another thing that's so important to so many americans. he had a pretty wayward life, flunked out of college, they threw him out for cheating, went

in the army, came back on the football team. he was not expected to do much. wasn't a very great student. he was a roustabout, loved to drink and ka rouse. he got himself in a lot of trouble on the bridge in 1969. >> not to mention palm beach. >> absolutely. that would have ruined most people. his biographies argue that it was because of his failings, he tried so hard to become the hardest working person in the senate, the most productive person in the senate, the person getting things done, not just talking, that, i think, became his trademark. for me, there is a story of redemption here. a man who had made a lot of mistakes early in life but learned from his mistakes and lifted himself up. that is part of the american dream too, lift yourself up. >> let's talk about part of that redemption and legislative record that he leaves behind.

senator kennedy was a wealthy man. he came from a wealthy family. as a descendant of irish immigrants, he understood that the way hispanic immigrants are in large measure treated today, is how his grandfather was once treated. think about this. there were signs across the northeast that read, no irish need apply. that's discrimination. maybe that's why he spent a lifetime fighting for the little guy, fighting for immigrants, fighting for the poor, fighting for american workers. i want to he sho you something now. the bulk of one of his most passionate speeches. more of a scolding than a speech. this is 2007. he is trying to get his colleagues to pass an increased minimum wage for americans. let's watch this together. $240 billion in tax breaks for corporations. $36 billion in tax breaks for

small businesses, increase in productivity, 42%. is there any increase in the minimum wage? no. what is the price we ask the other side? what is the proo is that you want from these working men and women? how much more do we have to give to the private sector and to business? how many billion dollars more are you asking, are you requiring? when does the greed stop we ask the other side? that's the question. that's the issue, mr. president. make no mistake about it. they have on the republican side 17 more amendments. 74, 70 more mendmentes. we have none. we are prepared to vote now. 70 more amendments. oh, yes, we want increase in the

minimum wage. we want this. we want that. but silence over there or let's have some other kinds of amendments that have virtually nothing to do with this. do you have such disdain for hard-working americans that you want to pile all your amendments on this? why don't you hold your amendments until other pieces of legislation. this volume of amendments on the issue you to try and raise the minimum wage. what is it about it that that drives you republicans crazy? what is it? something, something. are you going to require us to go in to float your boat next week. i can see it already. amendments have already been filed that are going to be related in case we do get cloture to delay it further. what is the price that the workers have to pay to get an increase? what is it about working men and

women that you find so offensive that you won't permit even a vote denying the senate of the united states the opportunity to express ourselves. we don't want to hear anymore from that side for the rest of this session about permitting and not permitting votes in here. when you are denying on the most simple concept, an increase in the minimum wage. we don't want to hear anymore about that. this is filibuster by delay and amendments. i've been around here long enough to know it when i see it and smell it. that's what it looks like. that's what it is. make no mistake about it. >> david gergen and patricia murphy have followed that controversy and that speech.

they are dying to explain to us how they are affected as they watch that man back in 2007 in that speech. we are going to go to them in just a little bit. we are going to try to sneak a commercial in now. what we are doing for you during this hour and the next couple of hours is let you see for yourself this motorcade, this hearse carrying the body of former senator, ted kennedy, heading towards boston, toward his mother's final resting place and toward his mother's museum and library as well. all of this as it happens, you will see it on cnn. stay with us. i'm rick sanchez. we'll be right back. (pouring rain)

i had a great time. me too. you know, i just got out of a bad relatio... it's okay. thanks. goodnight. goodnight. (door crashes in, alarm sounds) get out! (phone rings) hello? this is rick with broadview security. is everything all right? no, my ex-boyfriend just kicked in the front door. i'm sending help right now. thank you.

call now. we got a lot of twitter reports on that speech. kennedy's greatest achievement, he fought the bigotry, hypocrisy, greed that neocons endeav endeavor to sow into legislation. here is mike page. why don't you provide the numbers of people who lost their jobs after kennedy's minimum wage demands were met?

>> there are two sides of this argument. i want to bring david gergen back into this conversation. whether you were against what he was arguing, whether you were republican or democrat, you couldn't help but hear that speech that i just shared with the audience moments ago and be moved by a man who was dam well passionate about what he was trying to get across, david. >> absolutely. he was called -- john mccain called him the last lyoion. in that speech, you heard the roar of the lion. it was the fashion he had for others at the lower end of the spectrum that he fought for all his life. even in unpopular times. when ronald reagan was elected. teddy kennedy's positions were not as popular as they once were. he still championed them. he and reagan actually reagan.

nancy reagan was on larry king recalling how fond she and ronnie were about teddy. they spent time together. they worked together. you found with george w. bush, teddy, who was working across the aisle on no child left behind, you are going through many accomplishments. one that really hit me today in the los angeles times. i didn't know this. it is said that through his legislation for seniors, no less than six billion meals were provided to seniors because of teddy kennedy. >> as you read this and you go back, you forget. guys like you and i, david, we covered the news from day to day. sometimes it's cyclical. it's a 24-hour cycle. we forget the stuff that's come before. it is moments like this when you

get to be a little more intro peck spif. maybe we should do this more often. >> i agree. something else that struck me too. we often talk about the young and up and coming and people that are going to make it, 35 years old. they really break through. they have the big achievement. what you see in teddy kennedy's life is a result of more than 40 years at the task. the long, hard work of more than 40 years putting his name up over 500 pieces of legislation. working on more than 2,500 bills. there is something to be said about people who sort of work at the task. over a full lifetime. the accomplishments that come not just in a flash but that long, arduous work that comes from real dedication. >> well said, david gergen. thanks to you. >> thank you. >> let's go back to chad real quick to see if we can get a sense of what's going on with

the motorcade itself. look at the people that are lining the route who are stopped to watch the senator go by. >> it is interesting. i guess, chad, he is going to his mother's church where we understand there might be a brief stop, not positive. we'll watch it if it happens. then, he is going on to faneuil hall and jfk library and museum. >> and driving over the rose kennedy garden there in downtown boston, the green space there. starting down here, hyannis port, traveling up pilgrim's highway past plymouth. we can put it into motion. we are kind of moving on up quite quickly. there would be plymouth, plymouth bay. now, we are flying right very close to the river. this is going to be hanover mall to the north of here. right here at the truck stop, there must have been 300 cars pulled over at the truck stop,

everybody out of their car, lining the road by the truck spot. there you go, the hanover mall. heading to the north. so far, i am tracking you here. about 20 more miles to downtown boston. >> i want to ask you in a little bit. now i know there is danny boy, as you and i talked about it earlier, the hurricane off the coast of hatteras. danny boy is probably not going to hit the united states as a full-fledged hurricane. it still might have an impact on some of the weekend's activities. saturday morning, there is going to be a ceremony for ted kennedy. that might possibly be affected. i have got to get a break in now. when you come back, you can let us know how or when it is going to be affected. we have patricia murphy standing by. she is going to -- i want patricia to watch something with us coming up in just a little bit. this is going to be the speech that ted kennedy gave, the speech that he gave when his brother, bobby died. it is considered by some one of the most significant speeches of

his life. perhaps one of the greatest speeches ever given, certainly on the list. we will let you share in that as well. stay with us. we're going to be right back. welcome to the now network. population: 49 million. right now 1.2 million people are on sprint mobile broadband. 31 are streaming a sales conference from the road. eight are wearing bathrobes. two... less. - 154 people are tracking shipments on a train. - ( train whistles ) 33 are im'ing on a ferry. and 1300 are secretly checking email... - on a vacation. - hmm?

welcome back. there, once again, the motorcade and hearse carrying the body of senator ted kennedy. i am rick sanchez here in the "cnn newsroom" and the world headquarters of cnn in atlanta. we are going to be taking you through this so you can see it for yourself, experience it from home. as you can see, a lot of folks in massachusetts are going to be along that motorcade route. let me give you some information i've just gotten. the john f. kennedy library and museum is now saying -- look at that. look at the people lining the streets. it switches from time to time. if we have got a shot of the library, we will show it again. we just learned that they are now expecting that the motorcade is not going to arrive until 5:00 p.m. it was originally scheduled for 4:00 p.m. his body will lie in repose there from 6:00 p.m. to 11 p.m.

tonight. it will lie in repose there tomorrow friday as well, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and then saturday is when they will have the funeral mass, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. then, he will finally be entered at arlington national cemetery at 5:30 p.m. that's the burial service at 5:30 p.m. again, that's saturday. that's what's going to be going on for the next couple of days. let me bring patricia murphy into the conversation now. she has been watching. patricia, your perspective on some of the things you have been watching and some of the things we have shown so far. >> the speech you had kennedy giving on the senate floor about the minimum wage, the most important piece about that was that that bill passed, the first time in ten years that the minimum wage was increaseded. it was because kennedy was both passionate. you could not miss how passionate he was.

he was so pragmatic. he knew how to get a deal done. that's what a republican senator said to me, he knows how to do the deals. he took minimum wage and attached it to the iraq supplemental spending bill. it could never not pass. he attached that on to that and gave a little something to the republicans in small business tax breaks. you could run a thousand speeches of passionate senators on the senate floor. ted kennedy was passion at and then he did it. >> that's one of the things that ted kennedy was known for. there were two sides of ted kennedy. there was ted kennedy, the guy who could scold the other side and get angry at them and shake a fist as well as anyone. then, there was the guy able to reach across the aisle and reach out to people like george w. bush and other senators and get them to go along with much of that legislation.

it comes from -- it comes in many ways from a family who had been -- who had politics almost bread into them. it was part of the kennedy way. it was politics, negotiation. it was many things. it was all kennedys. as we see in this report by candy crowley. >> reporter: he had a name that rang down through generations. it was a guilded name in politics. ted kennedy's life was an almost impossible cal lied scope of outstanding public service, astonishing personal failures and a heavy burden of the unfulfilled legacies and promises of three older brothers, joseph, jack, bobby. >> it reminds me of the great quote by earnest hemingway who said, everyone is broken by life. afterwards, some are stronger in the broken places. >> reporter: at 36, teddy became

the patriarch when bobby was assassinated. >> those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us, what he wished for others, will someday come to pass for all the world. >> reporter: in the four decades since that day, the kennedy legacy was teddy's to fulfill, his to wright. it's an imperfect story of an often reckless young man who lived hard and as a u.s. senator, drove a car off a bridge after a party killing a young campaign aide. he would never be president. the dream of camelot, as jackie kennedy once described her husband's brief presidency, was over the night kennedy conceded the primaries to president jimmy carter. >> for all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.

>> reporter: so kennedy returned to the senate. there, over the next 30 years, he grew older, wiser and greatly admired. in the senate was redemption. in the senate, the dream came alive. in the senate, early in the morning, late at night, ted kennedy fought and cut deals for minimum wage increases, health care, education, immigration reform, help for the poor, the elderly and the sick. >> millions of people counted on this guy every day to stand up for him. for decades to come, history will talk about his legislative accomplishments and the differences he made in public policy. >> before kennedy's death, colleagues on the right and left mourned his absence in the health care debate. now, they feel it acutely. >> of all the times to lose ted kennedy, this is the toughest time. we are in too many camps. it is hard to reach across the aisle. senator kennedy made it easy to

reach across the aisle. >> eventually, someone will fill the senate seat of edward moore kennedy. there is pretty much universal agreement, nobody, family or friend, can take his place. a man has passed, taking with him a time and an era. the kennedy legacy is written. candy crowley, cnn washington. >> a lot of you are watching this with us right now. i think it is an important moment in american history to watch this together. many of you are asking questions and making comments. i will share as many as i can from time to time. let's go to kitty over here if we can. johnnie be good. kitty says, enjoying the coverage of teddy kennedy, hope you post those speeches to your blog as well. so we can see again. thanks. you know what, kitty, we will try and post as much as we possibly can. so you can go in there. it's cnn.com/ricksanchez. some of them, because they are owned by others, we can't. others, we can.

so we'll go through it. speaking of speeches, there is one speech that he gave that was almost -- it was the speech he gave at the eulogy of when his brother, bobby was killed. we put it together and we put video that you have probably never seen before. that's coming up next. some of those pictures we have gotten our hands on. we will be right back with patricia murphy. we will show you the kennedy speech. the eulogy he gave for his brother. we will be right back. if you've had a heart attack caused by a completely blocked artery, another heart attack could be lurking waiting to strike. a heart attack caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone,

to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots. ask your doctor about plavix, protection that helps save lives. if you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding you should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk, tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with plavix, especially if you've had a stroke. some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like prilosec, may affect how plavix works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur. if you take plavix with other heart medicines, continuing to do so will help increase protection against a future heart attack or stroke. feeling better doesn't mean you're not at risk. stay with plavix.

welcome back to the world headquarters of cnn. i'm rick sanchez. just a short time ago, i showed you the late ted kennedy speaking on the floor of the senate. vintage ted kennedy, going to bat for the weak. i want to take you back 40 years. this is perhaps ted kennedy's most widely quoted speech. if you listen closely, what you will hear is a vision of america that goes in and out of political favor but somehow carries on. this is ted kennedy's ueulogy fr his murdered brother, bobby,

gunned down while running for president in june of 1968. much of what you will see is something most of you have not seen before. it is a cemetery the night that bobby kennedy was laid to rest. it is kind of haunting historical footage. but putting those pictures under his brother's speech so you can see it. ted kennedy honoring his brother after he died-let's watch together. >> few will have the greatness of history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of

oppression and resistance. few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. moral courage is a rare commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. and i believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the globe, for the fortunate among us there is the temptation to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those who enjoy the privilege of education. but that is not the road history has marked out for us. like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty.

but they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history. all of us will ultimately be judged. and as the years pass, we will surely judge ourselves on the effort we have contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which our ideals and goals have shaped that event. our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. it is the shaping impulse of america that beneather fate nor nature, nor the irresistible tides of history but the work of our own hands matched to reason and principle that will determine our destiny. there is pride in that, even arrogance, but there is also

experience and truth. and in any event, it is the only way we can live. that is the way he lived. that is what he leaves us. my brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. to be remembered simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world. as he said many times in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him, some men see things

as they are and say why, i dream things that never were and say why not. >> patricia murphy and chad myers on the other side. -d-d-d-d

about ten minutes from the city limits of boston, where it looks like there's a whole lot of -- you know, when you live in massachusetts, it's not about being republican or democrat, is it. i mean, this is a family that's part of the state's lore. >> it is. and we hear a lot about the kennedy family, also the fitzgerald family was a huge political influence. ted kennedy's maternal grandfather was the mayor of boston. he was also very briefly a member of congress. and so, there's just -- they're so much a fabric of the entire state that to lose ted kennedy, as we've said so many times, almost the last of that generation, he takes that entire era with him when he is buried on saturday. >> look at those pictures. that's amazing as we look to see where they've been and where they're going. >> mm-hmm. >> apparently ending up in jfk library. there's people now gathered at the jfk library and museum.
