The place is full of dangerous rocks and swirling eddies; so naturally every time a guide stood up to see what lay ahead, some fun-loving Kennedy would push him overboard. The children organized rattlesnake hunts, and good old Bobby insisted on negotiating most of the run alone in a kayak. But Expedition Leader Don Hatch insisted it was a piece of cake. "The biggest problem," he said, "was keeping Ethel's wig box right side up through the rapids...
