Sunday, November 8, 2009 Edward Klein Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died 7:30pm, JCC Hart Theatre In the most inspiring speech of his career, Ted Kennedy once vowed: "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." Indeed, for most of his life, Ted Kennedy played a kaleidoscope of roles-from destructive thrill seeker to constructive lawmaker; from straying husband to devoted father and uncle. In Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died, celebrated Kennedy biographer Edward Klein at last reconciles these contradictions, painting a stunningly original, up-to-the-moment portrait of Ted Kennedy and his remarkable late-in-life redemption. Both in spirit and tone, it is a compassionate celebration of a complex man who, in the winter of his life, summoned the best in himself to come to the aid of his troubled nation. Edward Klein is the former foreign editor of Newsweek and former editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine. Back to BOOK FESTIVAL SCHEDULE » |
