...somewhere and you have a game at 7:30. You finish at 10 or 10:30 or whenever, and the bus leaves at midnight.

Kennedy knew if he placed the time of the accident at 1 a.m. it would destroy his story about driving Mary Jo to the ferry and her motel in Edgartown. What motives would the press assign to a handsome Senator alone with a woman at one in the morning?

...plucky Mrs. Berman, who is president of the nonprofit National Association of Patients on Hemodialysis and Transplantation Inc. (N.A.P.H.T.), headed West with her 24-lb. suitcase kidney and 15 Ibs. of accessories (including container and dialyzing mix). The machine worked without a hitch.
