Have not seen it yet, but will try as research for a project. I therefore noticed there are apparently zero scenes with the *adult* Ted Kennedy. It may be a legal reason? Or creative? But with credible historian D. Kearns-Goodwin involved, I doubt it was simply an oversight. Li'l bro hustled hard for John's campaigns, and entered politics formally during the JFK presidency. So why ain't he in the miniseries. Very curious... esp. Since both Joe Sr. And John have generated more conspiracy theorists and printed ink than probably any pair in U. S. (or even world) history. [aside: Teddy's in a scene or two for my WIP historical novel "Murder In Birdland", about entertainers and criminals, esp. Boston and NYC, '59-63 ...if ya got any tea, spill it please?! -- at my blog, Marking Time... the Murder In Birdland tab ]
