No matter how hard most of us try, we still cannot help but relate a sighting
of Ted Kennedy, even a quick one, with his contribution to and the controversy
that still surrounds the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, on that late night in
Chappaquiddick, MA.

( Notice how beneficial great WEALTH can often be! ;)

The party was for former Robert Kennedy campaign workers, held at the home of
a Kennedy cousin. At around 11 in the evening, Mary Jo got into an Oldsmobile
with Edward Kennedy and left the party. Kennedy, who at 37, was a senator from
Massachusetts, was also a likely candidate for the United States presidency in
1972.

Apparently enroute to the ferry landing for a return trip to Martha's
Vineyard, the Oldsmobile turned sharply right and off the paved roadway onto a
dirt side road.  Moments later the Oldsmobile plunged off the narrow Dike
Bridge into the ten foot deep Poucha Pond.

What actually happened next is not entirely clear but Mary Jo Kopechne
suffocated in the car while Senator Kennedy swam ashore. Strangely, it was ten
hours before Kennedy reported the accident to the police.

Chappaquiddick, MA.

Mary Jo Kopechne
       b. July 26, 1940. d. July 19, 1969. (Age 29)
       She was killed when Senator Edward Kennedy drove off a bridge
       in Chappaquiddick, MA. The scandal caused the senator to
       reverse his decision to run for the US presidency.

What REALLY happened that night and WHY?

The nation will always WONDER!

- --
The Kopechne's have said that they never received a personal apology from the
Senator. However, his insurance company did pay them $140,923 for the loss of
their only child.

( Of course, great WEALTH can also be quite niggardly and obdurate! ;)
