The loss of two giants…In the past two weeks, our country has lost two giants, both from the same family, Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Edward M. Kennedy. In this July 30,1983, file photo, Shriver is shown at her brother’s annual summer-time party at his home in Hyannisport, Mass. Shriver, who is also sister to President John F. Kennedy and founder of the Special Olympics, died Aug. 11 at age 88. Her brother Edward, the “liberal lion of the Senate,” has died after battling a brain tumor. His family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday (Aug. 26). He was 77.
