Kyle Kennedy, granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, dies.
Kyle Francis Kennedy, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, died last month at her home in Westwood, according to an online obituary. She was 42. The notice, posted to the Burke Funeral Home website, said Kyle Kennedy died “peacefully” on Sept. 21. No cause of death was provided. She had suffered a spinal cord injury in 2020 that brought “long term paralysis, disability, and other medical challenges,” the obituary said. She was born in Washington, D. C. in 1984 and spent most of her life in Massachusetts, where she “built a career devoted to early childhood education,” the obituary said. “Blessed with a formidable intellect, dry wit, and beauty, she will be remembered for her devotion to her children Conor, Josephine, and Declan, and her support for educational reform for disadvantaged children and for people living with disabilities,” the obituary said. She attended Milton Academy and later graduated with a degree in history from Georgetown University before earning master’s degrees from both Pace University and Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, the obituary said.

Game 2 of WNBA Finals between Dream and Valkyries was a complete turnaround for Angel Reese and Atlanta
Their biggest win of the night was limiting the Dream to seven offensive rebounds. Atlanta was 0 for 8 on second-chance shot attempts. The Valkyries thrived all season by limiting possessions and slowing pace, but the Dream play a different version of the same game. During the regular season, Atlanta overwhelmed opponents by generating more shot attempts. The Dream outshot opponents in 36 of 44 games, feeding on offensive rebounds, second-chance points, points off turnovers, and fast-break points. In the series-tying Game 2 win Monday night, Atlanta feasted on all of them. The Dream turned eight offensive rebounds into 17 second-chance points, scored 19 points on the break, and turned Golden State’s uncharacteristic 19 turnovers into 24 points. Instead of the down-to-the wire tension of the series opener, Atlanta’s 79-65 win was essentially over in the fourth quarter. Golden State’s challenge the rest of the series will be turning Atlanta into a one-shot offense. “When things maybe don’t go your way, that’s when you need to ramp [the energy] up even more,” said Valkyries guard and Newton native Veronica Burton.
