...that July night on Chappaquiddick. In some ways, they have much more to clarify than Kennedy, since they were presumably lucid when Kennedy returned to the cottage dazed from his accident. Not the least of the mysteries is why the two 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...
...overload his film. The romance never quite has the passion and urgency that it should, and the novice director's infatuation with Jean-Luc Godard deceives him into a gratuitous existential denouement (straight out of Contempt) in which the lovers hear about their involvement in a fatal car crash before it actually occurs. Wexler's sympathies are admittedly with the brutalized young, and he sets out to show the police as almost total villains. In that, he had plenty of help from the cops themselves.

Growing Worry. Anxieties are growing among investors who are old enough to remember the 1929 crash and the Depression. A 49-year-old Akron trucking executive has lost only $1,000 on a $20,000 investment in four blue chips-U.S. Steel, Ohio Edison, Goodyear and Standard Oil (Ohio). "But I had a fear of the market from the start," he says. "So do most people who saw their families struggle through the Depression. Now I feel like digging a hole in the backyard and burying the dough...
