FOCUS ON...SARGENT SHRIVER

When Patrick Kennedy left the House of Representatives recently, it meant the first time a Kennedy would not hold national public office in over 60 years. With the passing of Sargent Shriver yesterday, we no longer have any living major figures from the Camelot Administration.

Many of you will know Shriver as a brother-in-law to the Kennedys or as Maria Shriver's dad. He was also credited with founding the Peace Corp and was the Democratic Nominee for Vice President in 1972.

Rest in Peace, Sargent Shriver.
