...week, Kennedy seemed freshly determined to try to re-establish a normal senatorial routine. In one of his rare post-Chappaquiddick appearances, he and his son attended the "Northeast Special Olympics" for mentally retarded children in Boston. With the coming of the inquest into Mary Jo Kopechne's death, however, Teddy Kennedy's private anguish is bound to intensify. It, as much as anything that the inquest produces, must be counted as a major factor in Kennedy's future...

In 1944, Moslem rebels financed by Moscow set up the East Turkestan Republic in Sinkiang. Up to the time Mao Tse-tung won control of China, the Russians were trying to establish Sinkiang as an independent republic...

But "in the cold light of dawn," say Pearson and Anderson, the Senator "decided to face the consequences himself." Whatever its implausibilities, the story would explain why Kennedy might have wished to establish an alibi by showing himself at the motel at 2:25. Both Gargan and Kennedy immediately said that the story is false. Another rumor had it that Gargan was indeed driving the car, but everyone who has known the Kennedys agreed that it would be more likely for Joey...
