Kennedy Book Cover Released
November 27th, 2007
The memoirs of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the youngest and last surviving brother of the country’s most famous political siblings and for decades an eminent liberal statesman and legislator, have been acquired by an imprint of the Hachette Book Group USA.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but a publishing official with knowledge of the negotiations said Monday that the agreement was comparable to the $8 million Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton received for “Living History” and the $9 million former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will reportedly get for his planned memoir. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity, following standard industry practice.
“I’ve been fortunate in my life to grow up in an extraordinary family and to have a front row seat at many key events in our nation’s history,” Kennedy, 75, said in a statement. “I hope my reflections can contribute to a deeper understanding of many events in the history of this great country and to a more in-depth picture of an American family.”
Dailytakes has obtained a copy of the book’s cover.

another title suggestion - A bridge too far
November 28th, 2007 at 7:03 am
“The Bridges of (Chappaquiddick) Dukes County”

Did you know that Rush mentioned casually yesterday before a break that the rumor on the blogs was that the title of Kennedy’s memoirs was going to be “Chappaquiddick: If I Did It?”……
Wonder where he found it?
