Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Key to Higher-Education Legislation, Has a Brain Tumor

To get the flavor of it (if the headline wasn't clear enough), how about this:

"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who suffered a seizure over the 
weekend, has received a diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor, his office 
confirmed on Tuesday.

It is unclear when Senator Kennedy, a Democrat and a major figure in 
higher-education policy making, will return to Congress and what effect his 
absence will have on efforts to renew the Higher Education Act, the main law 
governing federal student aid. As chairman of the Senate education committee, 
Mr. Kennedy is a key player in that process."

I don't think the opposition would even have felt comfortable jumping so boldly 
from paragraph one to paragraph two.
