Reply #4: Every time I heard that line,

I cringed, feeling for Joan Kennedy, feeling for their three children.

It's an idiotic throwaway line. As if one person can someone "save" another. We find each other at the times when we're receptive to each other, and that's all it is. Maybe we clean it up because we want to be better for this new person, but is that someone "saving" someone else?

It's a nice line, easy off the tongue, and it's a real tribute to Vicki Kennedy, but there was another wife, and that line makes it sound like the love of a bad woman almost did in Teddy Kennedy, which is mean-spirited, although I'm sure it's not meant to be.

I'm with you, Berry. Just more mindless babbling from TV commentators who need to fill the airwaves, which is kind of unfortunate. I appreciate, now more than ever, the silence of C-Span for these events..............................
