Kennedy himself told a Boston Globe reporter last week, "I feel the tragedy of the girl's death. That's what I'll always have to live with. But what I don't have to live with are the whispers and innuendoes and falsehoods." Yet in the continued absence of an adequate public explanation from Kennedy about the night when Mary Jo Kopechne died, the whispers and innuendoes refused to fade away.

...Joseph Kopechne declared themselves "satisfied" last month by Edward Kennedy's televised explanation of the events surrounding their daughter's death. But now Mary Jo's parents feel bitter, ignored and increasingly puzzled. "I'm waiting to get an awful lot of answers," Mrs. Kopechne told TIME'S David Whiting last week.

"It's a carbon copy," reported a policeman upon first viewing the scene, and fears of a maniac running amok quickly spread through the city.
