Kennedy of Massachusetts. Through ability, hard work, and dedication, Burke rose in the next four years to become one of the Senator’s closest staff members. In 1977 he was made Kennedy’s personal assistant; after his appointment in 1978 as administrative assistant – the youngest in the Senate – he came to know Edward M.
