BOSTON (AP) — Sen. Edward M. Kennedy began his final journey Thursday, first past landmark after landmark bearing his family’s famous name and then to his slain brother’s presidential library where mourners lined up by the thousands to bid farewell to him and an American political dynasty. Crowds assembled along the 70-mile route that snaked from the family’s compound in Hyannis Port, along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, past the John F. Kennedy Federal Building and by the JFK stop on the city’s subway system.- – – -Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
