WASHINGTON (AFP) – The death of Senator Ted Kennedy dominated front pages across the United States on Thursday with newspapers proclaiming it the end of an era and a huge loss for the Democratic Party.
"Final Curtain Falls on 'Camelot' Era," read the headline on the lead article in The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Kentucky.
"End of an American Epoch," declared The Washington Post, which devoted another four pages inside its front section to the life and legacy of the Senate legend who died of brain cancer on Tuesday at the age of 77.
"Throughout his career he stood by some of the country's most neglected and abused people: minorities, immigrants, the poor and those lacking access to good health care," the Post said in an editorial.
"His record shows the work of a committed, diligent legislator, and it earned him the respect of those who disagreed with him as much as the loyalty of those who worked for and with him," it added.
"Passing of an Era," read the headline on the front page of The Arizona Republic. "Kennedy Reflected Ambition, Foibles of Camelot."
...
In an editorial, the Times eulogized Kennedy as a "master legislator and great reformer" who led "an extraordinary life that careened from success to misfortune and scandal and back to success again."
The New York Post contrasted Kennedy's life and legacy with that of his brothers, president John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, and Bobby Kennedy, who was assassinated five years later while running for president.
"Ted was the most important Kennedy," it said.

Last I heard.
Which is why I don’t read them.
Mary Jo Kopechne is still unavailable for comment.
It’s all I’ve thought about for the past day and a half. I’m heartbroken.

Khrushchev had to “quietly” remove Stalin and Lennon’s bodies lying in state to simple graves in the middle of the night under a wall and layered under several thick walls of concrete. He was so tired of hearing about them, he didn’t want them to “resurface” again.
“Kennedy life, legacy dominates US newspapers”

I havn’t read a print media organ of the Democrat party in years, but after reading those snippets in the heading of this thread:
US newspapers = open sewer of leftist propaganda.
Lennon?
I would have sworn that was Marie Osmond before you ID'd "him" in the photo caption.
Lenin, sorry to the spelling nazi’s.
Lenin/Lennon not a lot of difference, though John was apparently emerging SOMEWHAT from the hippie/Yoko fog toward the end of his life
Had you misspelled it Linin, or Linon, I would not have commented. Had you spelled it Linen then yes I would have responded. I am only a spelling nazi when there is potential for humer.
No photos of Ted’s sister Rosemary? You know. The ‘crazy’ one they lobotomized and locked away here in Wisconsin? *SIGH*
Kennedy has donated all of his (inherited) $$$$ to charity, the gov’t???
Damn, I wish I had a parakeet or some rotting fish.
