...death of Mary Jo Kopechne has already become one of the most controversial fatal accidents in the history of the U.S. Last week, as the date of an inquest demanded by Massachusetts District Attorney Edmund Dinis approached, it stirred even more controversy. Disturbed by all the publicity, attorneys for Edward Kennedy appeared before Judge James Boyle in Edgartown to insist that the judge grant their client the rights of a defendant in a criminal trial.

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. But it might have made for less propaganda and better...
