...There are two sides here," Mrs. Kopechne continued. "Mr. Kopechne and I on this side and the Kennedy name on the other. Everybody is on that side." Mary Jo's parents accept Kennedy's explanation of his delay in reporting the accident. "I can understand shock," Mrs. Kopechne said. "But I cannot understand Mr. Gargan and Mr. Markham. They weren't in shock. Why didn't they get help? That's where my questions start." The couple is curious as to how Kennedy could return unnoticed to the cottage after the accident.

These variously mean that the firms cannot accept new accounts, cannot advertise, or must limit the number of trades per day. Since last December, the exchange has also required brokers to set aside capital to cover 10% of the market value of stock snagged in failures to deliver that are 40 to 49 days behind schedule...
Maybe not, but protesters seem to agree that they are helpless to break the legally tight contract. And Krupp officials believe that they have a moral obligation to uphold the late Alfried's wishes. The chances are that everybody will accept some face-saving compromise in which the merger will go through and Arndt will somehow continue to receive his fun fund...
