Minutes before the Adams Pool Theater doors were scheduled to open for the inaugural performance of the ribald sex farce “Maude and Harold a Musical Love Story ‘on ice’” co-producers and co-writer Patrick D. Swieskowski ’06 issued a stern warning to the house managers: “Don’t let any kids in.” A potboiler warning reading “not suitable for children” appeared prominently on the production’s playbills, but Swieskowski wasn?...
...Patrick Kennedy, who mysteriously plowed his Ford Mustang into a security barricade on Capitol Hill last week, once seemed the great hope of his generation of America's most storied political dynasty. He won his first election at 21: a college junior who had lived in Rhode Island only two years, Kennedy trounced a five-term incumbent to win a seat in the state legislature.

...Patrick's story turned stereotypically Kennedy in other ways. He has battled depression, drug addiction and bad publicity, as in 2000 when he argued with a girlfriend aboard a yacht he had chartered; she got the Coast Guard to take her to shore.

Since he became the youngest Kennedy elected to office when he won a seat in the Rhode Island state house at the age of 21, Kennedy has made no secret of the fact that the family...
...crash could change that, especially if there are indications he received any special deference because he's a Congressman or a Kennedy. After all, Kennedy-bashing is in the DNA of many conservatives and this incident even echoes some aspects of the deadly 1969 Chappaquiddick episode that thwarted Patrick's father's presidential ambitions. And the incident, not suprisingly, is already firing up conservative talk radio...
