District Attorney Edmund Dinis estimates that the inquest in the small Dukes County courthouse will last as long as a week. He will call about 20 wit nesses. One of them is almost certain to be Edward Kennedy himself, although there is some legal argument that calling the Senator to testify would violate his constitutional rights in the event that the inquest were to lead to later criminal proceedings against him.

Despite those handicaps, a Chicago polio victim named Sherman Skolnick fought back so hard that last month two members of the Illinois Supreme Court resigned amid charges of conflict of interest brought by him. Moreover, the revelations about those judges -Chief Justice Roy Solfisburg and Associate Justice Ray Klingbiel-have inspired a committee of the state legislature to embark forthwith on a "top-to-bottom inquiry into the entire judiciary in Illinois...
