...privileges in my life has been the chance to meet with Senator Edward M. Kennedy. My few conversations with him during my time at Harvard focused mostly on civic education, and showcased the kindness and caring which has been so eloquently eulogized during the past week.

Even though Libya has the backing of the Arab League in demanding an immediate end to sanctions, don't expect any movement soon. For one thing, the Libyans want to wait until Megrahi's appeal is over before considering compensation - and that'll be just fine with the West. Ghaddafi's neighbors may begin simply ignoring sanctions as they have been doing with Iraq, but it could still be years before...
