Milestones-1: "Senator Edward Kennedy dies of cancer"

1. The death of John F.Kennedy's last surviving brother signals the end of an era that held sway from the early 1960s. Edward Kennedy lived in the shadow of his more famous brothers in the formative years of his political life and carried on their legacy admirably over the next three decades. Championing the cause of health care, civil rights and world peace. Senator Kennedy won a place in the hearts of thousands of Americans and left an indelible mark on American politics. - Harisankar Kurup, Secunderabad.

2. John Kennedy, the liberal-minded President, and, later, his brother Robert, died young. The mantle fell on Ted Kennedy to carry their legacy forward. And what a signal contribution he went on to make to health care, civil rights and social justice! To cap it all, he used his political stature to get the first African-American U.S.President elected - in a fitting tribute to the Kennedy legacy. - R.Narayanan, Ghaziabad.

3. As a Senator for nearly half a century, Ted Kennedy's was the most prominent voice in the U.S. that spoke for the disadvantaged.

Gandhiana-4: "Nehru on Gandhiji"

What was his great power over the mind and heart of man due to? Ages to come will judge and we are too near him to assess the many facets of his extraordinarily rich personality. But even we realize that the dominating passion of his life was TRUTH. That truth led him to proclaim without ceasing that good ends can never be attained by evil methods, that the end itself is distorted if the method pursued is bad. That truth led him to confess publicly whenever he thought he had made a mistake - Himalayan errors he called some of his own mistakes. That truth led him to fight evil and untruth wherever he found them regardless of the consequences. That truth made he service of the poor and the dispossessed the passion of his life, for where there is inequality and discrimination and suppression, there is injustice and evil and untruth. And thus he became the beloved of all those who have suffered from social and political evils, and the great representative of humanity as it should be. Because of that truth in him, wherever he sat became a temple and where he trod was hallowed ground. - Jawaharlal Nehru
