It might reintroduce them to the bracing idea of moral independence, the idea of telling popularity, money and the media to go to hell. Kennedy studied the behavior of politicians (Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Robert A. Taft, and others) who took profoundly principled but unpopular stands, even at the risk of their own careers...
