...lawyers failed to summon help immediately, report the crash to the police, and later supposedly permitted Kennedy to swim the channel to Edgartown alone. That swim is all the more incredible because both men are among Ted's oldest friends. Markham and Joey Gargan, Ted's cousin, attended prep school together, and it was through Gargan that Markham became a regular member of Kennedy touch-football squads...
...Gargan, a prominent Lowell, Mass., attorney and World War I hero, Joey Gargan virtually grew up with the Kennedys. His parents died when he was young, and Rose saw to his school and college expenses. Almost Ted's age, Gargan became more like a brother than a cousin to Teddy, although Gargan has always found himself in a somewhat subservient role.

However, it is possible that Massachusetts District Attorney Edmund Dinis will range farther to investigate where Kennedy and Mary Jo were going, why the accident went unreported for so long and whether, as Columnist Jack Anderson has claimed, Kennedy at first weighed letting his cousin, Joe Gargan, "take the rap," If that is Dinis' purpose, there is an easier way to go about it than an inquest.

At an appearance last spring at The Scene in Manhattan, where he received a standing ovation, tears...
...then there was one of those god-awful family get-togethers--was it what's her face's wedding or cousin George's funeral (he was twenty-nine and died of fright)? Anyway, after fifteen minutes of kisses on the cheek and handshakes with good-natured (oh yes) ribbing about long hair and campus activism you realized the only way to survive was to get hopelessly drunk. And so, mellow and impish, you explained to your maiden aunt that it would be great to do away with marriage because it would end all discussion about pre-marital sex, and that...
