Kennedy abandons 1988 White House bid for Senate run
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy says in a paid TV address he will not seek the 1988 presidency and will run for a fifth Senate term. He cites family considerations and a focus on public service, noting the decision ends his nationwide presidential campaign hopes and opens the field for Democratic contenders. He spoke from Hyannisport, planning a Boston press conference next day to address timing and motives.
