...life might conceivably have been saved. Though only the slimmest of possibilities existed, there is a chance that an air bubble might have remained for a brief time within the submerged vehicle, giving the girl moments of life. If a bubble formed, it would have been in the car's rear, which was higher in the water than the heavy front end. Mary Jo's body was, in fact, found in the back seat, although she presumably had been riding in front next to Kennedy...

The three people, of course, were most likely Kennedy, Gargan and Markham. (See the most memorable quotes by Senator Kennedy...
...moon? If this becomes a problem for him, some of the stuff he admitted about his behavior could be brought back and used against him." One sick joke already visualizes a Democrat asking about Nixon during the 1972 presidential campaign: "Would you let this man sell you a used car?" Answer: "Yes, but I sure wouldn't let that Teddy drive...
