...dawn on his vacation, Lee Peachey climbed a hill in the Ecuadorian cloud forest and unfolded thin nets strung between bamboo poles. When birds, often Amazilia hummingbirds or gray-breasted wood wrens, flew into the nets, he patiently untangled them and, with sweat pouring down his face and into his glasses, carried them down a steep path to a work station below. There he and his wife Helen or one of their three teammates on an Earthwatch expedition recorded the birds' size, type and condition, took blood samples and made sure they were banded before setting them free. At dusk...
...Markham, who tried vainly to save Mary Jo. After driving to the ferry landing, Kennedy dove into the channel and swam the 500 feet to Edgartown. He walked to his motel, changed into dry clothes and collapsed on his bed. At 2:25 a.m. he spoke to Innkeeper Russell Peachey about the noise from a party near by. For reasons never fully explained, Kennedy told no one of the accident. The next morning he heard that his car had been discovered in Poucha Pond. Only then, ten hours after the accident, did he go to the police station to turn...
...Moral Strength." Kennedy did not report the accident on reaching Edgartown. Instead, he returned to his hotel, changed his clothes and, after a brief conversation with Innkeeper Russell Peachey in which he pointedly asked the time (2:25 a.m.), paced the floor of his room until daylight.

...people in a black car with the license prefix "L" (Kennedy's license plate was L-78207) heading for the Dike Bridge at approximately 12:45 a.m., an hour and a half after Kennedy said that he and Mary Jo had left for the ferry. Another is Russell Peachey, co-owner of Edgartown's Shiretown Inn, where Kennedy was staying, who could describe the Senator's appearance to ask the time at 2:25 a.m. There is Steve Hewitt, the ferryman, who can help to establish whether Markham spent the night in Edgartown or on Chappaquiddick...
...into the water and swam the 250-yard channel separating Chappaquiddick from Martha's Vineyard, "nearly drowning once again in the effort." Finally, he said, he collapsed in his hotel room, going out only once before morning to talk to a man he identified as a clerk. Russell E. Peachey, actually a co-owner of the Shiretown Inn, later told TIME Correspondent Frank Merrick that he did indeed see Kennedy at 2:25 a.m., dressed in a suit coat and trousers that appeared dry. Kennedy complained that party noise from an adjacent building was keeping him awake, and inquired what...
