This July 1965 photo shows 1-week-old Anthony Paul Kennedy Shriver at Logan International Airport in Boston with his parents, Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver. As noted in Scott Stossel's "Sarge," an authorized 2004 biography, he was a faithful man amid a clan of womanizers, a sometimes giddy idealist labeled "the house Communist" by the family.

About this time, too, he met Eunice Kennedy and was immediately taken by her. "He was a man of giant love, energy, enthusiasm, and commitment," the Shriver family said in a statement. "Mr Shriver's son, Anthony, recalled his father as being a man who 'loved all people, all different types of people from all different backgrounds'.He said one of the last things his father said to him was: 'You tell Cardinal Wuerl to make Eunice a saint!
And she would say 'Oh stop it'... but she really liked it.'
In a 1994 address at Yale, Sargent Shriver gave this call to action: "Break Your Mirrors!" In August 2009, Eunice Shriver preceeded her husband in death.
They also had 19 grandchildren.

In September 1975, Shriver joined an already crowded race for the 1976 Democratic nomination. Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed in Georgia that fall, Kennedy phoned King's wife and offered support. He died Jan. 18 at age 95. He campaigned for congressional Democrats in 1970, and two years later McGovern drafted him to replace Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri as his running-mate. When Shriver finally became a candidate, the results were disastrous: He was George McGovern's running mate in the 1972 election, but the Democrats lost in a landslide to President Richard M. Nixon.

His father was a stockbroker, but he lost most of his money in the crash of 1929. Shriver went on to be a former U.S. vice presidential nominee and served as the first Peace Corps director.
Obama called called Shriver one of the "brightest lights of the greatest generation."
But other Shriver initiatives suffered from bureaucracy, feuds with local officials and a struggle for funds as Johnson devoted more and more money to the Vietnam War.
