According to Teddy's statement, he left the Dike Bridge in shock and on foot, wet and minus his passenger. Why Teddy told no one about the accident and did not seek help for the girl, why no one called a doctor or even asked Kennedy what had happened-and indeed how he got back to his hotel-are questions, that must now puzzle not only the police, but also Ted Kennedy and his nationwide constituency...
...came to the surface and then repeatedly dove into the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt." As for his failure to report the accident, he maintained that he "was exhausted and in a state of shock." Kennedy's explanation was supported by his family physician, Dr. Robert D. Watt. Examining the Senator at his home following his return, Watt found that Kennedy had a "slight concussion at the back of his head," gave him a sedative to relieve the pain...
...dons whose social, economic and academic perspectives easily match the boldness of his own ideas. The doctoral program Magaziner will follow, supposedly so traditional, can be a study of almost anything, so long as he finds a supervisor who takes him seriously.

"Release is reaching ordinary youthful offenders, the inarticulate ones who are most...
Next Target. The industry timetable would obviously ease the shock of ending the ads-which may not be much of a shock after all. Presumably, the broadcasters would also be allowed to phase out those FCC-required free anti-smoking commercials, which take up $70 million worth of air time a year. Some but by no means all of the loss from cigarette commercials would be made up by the fast-diversifying tobacco companies themselves. As they cut back their cigarette ad budgets, they would spend more on their non-tobacco products...
