Ted Kennedy's autobiography

I am currently reading the late Ted Kennedy's autobiography True Compass. I am currently trying to sift through what is true, what is completely B.S.(sorry mom if you ever read this) and what is his spin on the issues and memories of people and incidents that he was involved with.

I am enjoying reading about how he idolized his father and brothers. It seemed like they all could do no wrong. This was the complete opposite of the truth at least in the case of his father.

If you want an entertaining read on a colorful character in America politics, pick it up. You will be amazed at the stuff he put himself through just to get a vote for his brothers or himself.
