Senate bereft of Kennedy dealmaking after his death
Washington mourns Edward M Kennedy as the Senate loses its leading bipartisanship broker. His absence leaves a stalled health care overhaul with no one matching his balance of leadership, charm, and procedural savvy to bridge divisions. Experts note his irreplaceable role in moving key compromises and warn the reform effort may falter without him.

Kennedy cancer focus on quality of life in final months
Kennedy lived 15 months with an incurable brain tumor in his late 70s showing how quality of life guided terminal care. Doctors say treatments aim to keep life comfortable even as tumor growth can no longer be halted, with medications reducing brain swelling and easing end-of-life passage.

Kennedy death alters Mass Senate race and funeral plans
Kennedy died at 77 and will be buried near brothers John and Robert after Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica. Massachusetts faces a special election for his seat with ballots without his name, with candidates including congressmen and prosecutors. The law fixes election timing between late January and early February, banning an interim appointee. Kennedy’s memoir True Compass debuts Sept. 14 with 1.5 million copies.
