After the accident, Kennedy returned to look for his friends, who were dining nearby. He climbed into the back of a car and asked to be driven to the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown, where he was staying. There, he said later, he walked around "for a period of time" and finally returned to his room. He did not report the accident to friends or the authorities...
More explainable was Miss Kopechne's presence on the island. On a weekend reunion with girls she had met while a member of the R.F.K. staff, she had come to the island to watch the Edgartown Regatta and to see Teddy race. Staying at the Katama Shores Inn in Edgartown, she was apparently accepting a lift home when the accident occurred.

When Shakespeare wanted people inn his play to speak French--and he did on occasion--he wrote in French himself...
...foolhardy enough to make speeches is fair game for the press. CIA Director Richard Helms learned that the hard way when he tried to speak off the record to the Business Council at the Homestead Inn in Hot Springs, Va. Arguing that anything Helms had to say to 125 of the nation's top business executives could hardly endanger national security, reporters pleaded with the CIA chief for at least a briefing. They even carried their complaints to the Administration's communications director, Herb Klein, in Washington. Helms turned Klein down...
