...shoddy and incomplete" reporting. His aides produced aerial photos showing the sand bar still open to the south on July 2-and indeed, on Oct. 24, 1969. The Star did not have the July 2 picture, which was obtained by the Kennedy staff two weeks ago from J. Gordon Ogden, a longtime summer resident of Martha's Vineyard who has compiled a book on the area's tides. But the Star did have the Oct. 24 photo. The newspaper's editors decided not to publish it because it was taken from an oblique angle...
Kennedy's aides also released statements from two experts disputing quotes attributed to them by the Star. One was Ogden, who was said by the Star to have waded through "chest-deep" water across the sandbar opening in the summer of 1969.

Gomes makes cheerful academic jokes (on Ascension Day: "It is the Lord who graduates") and will quote Ogden Nash or Woody Allen as freely as Crisis Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. But he offers no easy optimism or simple uplift to his young charges. "Human progress is a foolish myth of epic proportions," Gomes insists. "It is the fantasy of our age and time.
