Initially, I don't believe he was doing anything other than trying to save his own reputation in the press. Later there was talk that Mary Jo's family was secretly compensated.
To: ken5050
Earlier I was thinking my first casual comment at work was going to be about MJK's 65th birthday. Of course many of my coworkers are old enough to remember. I get your point, though, and will try it on some younger folks too.

Don't forget, Apollo 11 covered up much of what should have been the scandal of the decade.
To: AnimalLover
I just sent him a reminder and also that today is my 64th birthday and am doing something that Mary Jo never got to do, which is, enjoy her family today on her 65th. Amen.

Someone needs to chisel that quote on Charlie Pierce's tombstone. Soon, I hope.

Just a reminder to read Leo Damore's "Senatorial Privilege" (c. 1988, ISBN No. 0895265648) for everything you've ever wanted to know about this tragedy.

If you're talking about Mary Jo K., she died of suffocation......... not drowning!

The book "Senatorial Privilege" by Leo Damore was very good. I remember noticing in the pictures that only a couple of the girls at the party were attractive, including Mary Jo.
Kennedy definitely was guilty of manslaughter, but the real crime was just plain cowardliness, combined with selfishness.

The mainstream media of the time not only kept quiet about the Kennedys' behavior, sexual and otherwise, but affirmatively helped to draw a false picture. How false it was, most Americans did not learn until the Chappaquiddick tragedy, which the press could not get out of reporting. The spectacle of these middle-aged married men running around with young women (obviously not their wives) revealed a whole new world. Of course, we were always hearing that businessmen were like that (do you remember The Apartment?). But they were the private sector; the men who governed us couldn't be like that, could they?
