District Attorney Edmund Dinis estimates that the inquest in the small Dukes County courthouse will last as long as a week. He will call about 20 wit nesses. One of them is almost certain to be Edward Kennedy himself, although there is some legal argument that calling the Senator to testify would violate his constitutional rights in the event that the inquest were to lead to later criminal proceedings against him. The other witnesses will include the five girls and five other men who attended the cookout on Chappaquiddick. Arena will appear, as will Dr. Donald R. Wills, the Dukes...

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.

The conference ended with Boyle's announcement that an inquest would be convened in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, on Sept. 3.

Candor is as much a part of Edmund Muskie as his easy grin and his sincere visage. Last June-amazingly early by the coy calendar of most politicians -the Democratic Senator from Maine told an interviewer that "the idea of running for President is in a remote corner of my mind." Then Muskie casually listed two drawbacks: his own lack of familiarity and identification with some national issues and the fact that, as matters then stood, Senator Edward Kennedy could get the Democratic nomination in 1972 "for the asking...
