...that of a grand jury proceeding, could, of course, protect Kennedy's interests if Dinis does later press for prosecution. Theoretically, Kennedy at least will be spared an indictment by headline.

The shortage of hard facts and the oversupply of half answers since Mary Jo Kopechne died have all along been most damaging to Kennedy, and a closed inquest will not necessarily change that.

Dennis joins the circle, all 13 witches join hands, and Dennis chants, "Spring equinox, golden son of the mountains, illumine the land!" The blonde, whose name is Leslie, says, "Little things are going wrong, and I know it can't be just bad luck." "Leslie's karma has been messed up," Dennis explains. "We have to locate the spirit." The whole group slides closer...
