Such a future campaign is made possible by the singular crusade of Teddy Kennedy in 1979 and 1980. He learned about the nation. More important, he learned about himself. It was believed last fall by Ted Kennedy and almost everyone else that a person who had come through the assassination of two brothers and the personal scandal of Chappaquiddick, and who had served 17 years in the U.S. Senate, was prepared for big power politics. These assumptions proved to be almost entirely wrong. Kennedy could not articulate any appreciation of the economic anguish of Middle Americans. Nor did he understand...

Early on, the songs have bravado: "We were off to fight the Hun . . ./ And it looked like lots of fun," but they end somberly: "We were daring young men with hearts of gold/ And most of us never...
Excerpt "Once in a while an adult said, 'Your grandfather built the railroad.' (Or 'Your grandfathers built the railroad. Plural and singular are by context.) We children believed that it was that very railroad, those trains, those tracks running past our house; our own giant grandfather had set those very logs into the ground, poured the iron for those very spikes with the big heads and pounded them until the heads spread like that, mere nails to him. He had built the railroad so that trains would thunder over us, on a street that inclined toward...
