And that the nation, not the victims, the nation believed the psychic scars on the nation arising out of this required some degree of cohesiveness, community response.

Every historian who’s written currently has said that Senator Kennedy is the best United States Senator in our lifetime.Jack joined The Times in 1969 as chief national urban affairs correspondent, subsequently edited The Times editorial page where he won a Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing, and also edited The New York Times Magazine. Let’s own the guilt of complicity, as the dirty work of the century has been carried out in our name. Imagine if you will a six year-old little boy standing before one of those wood-encased black and white Televisions, utterly bewildered as to why the normally stoic British TV presenters were sobbing and shaking with shock, while his mother and grim-visaged father sat on the settee behind him crying their eyes out. I think those of us who had the privilege and have had the privilege to continue to in some ways be within the Edward Kennedy orbit have a certain bond between us, a band of brothers and sisters.

Perhaps along with his family, we know things about Senator Kennedy better than the average audience here. Everything about that day and the things that followed, at least in my view, remain to be almost unimaginable. Having gone through this amazing experience, this intensely complicated emotionally as well as legally complicated experience, what would you say to Congress?

We believe that if all of the American public saw footage of building 7 on the nightly news, it would lead to widespread skepticism of 9/11. But I daresay that when that history is written, Senator Kennedy will be the giant among those who have performed enormous public service through their role in The United States Senate.
