 The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate was dedicated by the president, vice president and other high-profile politicians Monday morning in Dorchester. It may take a year or two years or three years, but it always happens. It fills you with a heightened sense of purpose. That's the magic of the Senate. That's the essence of what it can be. And who but Ted Kennedy and his family would create a full-scale replica of the Senate chain and open it to everyone. The president in his speech this morning took a few moments to acknowledge and wish officer John Moynihan SPD recovery. The Boston policeman was honored last year at the White House as one of America's top cops. He, unfortunately, spent the last weekend battling for his life after being enjoyed in a shootout in Roxbury. In particular, above the doorways are three ball relief panels representing patriotism, courage and wisdom, which are characteristics of the American spirit that must be cherished and practiced by our leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The ceremony ended with a mock Senate session with students representatives from every state. Reporting for the BU News Service, I'm Nikita Sampat.
