The name Ted Kennedy conjures up many different images to different people. Some think instantly of a car crash on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts that killed a young Mary Jo Kopechne, while others think of a white-haired man hunched over a podium on the Senate floor screaming about health care. Both these views and many others are explored in the new book Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy.
