<p>News today that the last of the Kennedy brothers, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1517548.stm" title="BBC Article (opens in new window)" target="_blank">Teddy Kennedy has died</a> after a long battle with a brain tumour.</p>
<p>Despite living in the shadows of his more famous martyred siblings John and Robert for much of his life (and with the ghost of his brother Joseph who was killed in WWII &#8211; Teddy was the only one of the four brothers to die of natural causes), Teddy Kennedy was a highly influential figure in US politics for decades.</p>
