...editorial, which accompanied the expose of the Business Assistance Program, was entitled "BAP: Our Very Own Chappaquiddick" and began, stating "This year the Business Assistance Program ran off a bridge...
...untidily and unsatisfactorily as it began, the legal inquiry into the incident at Chappaquiddick came to an abrupt end last week. After a few hours of fruitless probing, a grand jury appointed to investigate the death last July of Mary Jo Kopechne adjourned in frustration without clarifying any of the mystery that still surrounds her death...

The full inquest transcript could conceivably help resolve some of these doubts when it is released. But Mary Jo Kopechne will still be dead, and many will still wonder whether Kennedy did all he possibly could have done to prevent her death...
