"The story was set to run, and they gave Ted Kennedy a courtesy call, and a few days later the story was killed," a friend of the Vancouver man told the Post. "Ted must have strong-armed (Vanity Fair editor) Graydon Carter."Interesting. Of course, Ted could have killed this story much more effectively by submitting to a DNA test that would end this once and for all. DNA from an uncle would be enough to prove or disprove it, I think.
