The FBI files of Senator Edward Moore Kennedy

The World
Thousands of pages of Senator Ted Kennedy's FBI file were released yesterday, 9 months after he died. This is just the first installment of the file, but it covers some of the most interesting years of Kennedy's life, from 1961, when his brother was president, to 1985, five years after Kennedy's own failed run for the White House. There are all sorts of gems in the file: unverified claims and documentation of countless threats -- some more serious than others -- made against the last surviving Kennedy brother. Joining us to talk about some of the most interesting finds is Bryan Bender, a reporter at the Boston Globe.
