There are new indications that it did not take place shortly after 11:15 p.m., as Kennedy said, but sometime after 12:40 a.m. Dr. Donald R. Mills, the associate medical examiner, said that Mary Jo could have died anywhere from five to eight hours before 9:30 a.m., when he looked at the body. Even using a very outside limit of nine hours, that would have placed the moment of death no earlier than 12:30 a.m. Dr. Mills admitted that a judgment based on the degree of rigor mortis is "at best inexact"; there was no autopsy.

...party problem posed by his eclipse is what one Republican leader calls a "glamour vacuum." Another, potentially more serious threat is that Kennedy's removal from presidential politics -at least for now-could encourage the party's far left to consider founding an independent movement. This could take the form of either a McCarthy-like revolt within the party or an effort to form a new party.

...police investigation had proved fruitless until last week. Friction among some of the five police agencies working on the case impeded progress, causing Governor William Milliken to observe that the departments had displayed only "passive cooperation" with one another. He ordered the state police to take over. The state cops played an important but unanticipated role in the first major break in the case. State Police Corporal David Leik returned from a vacation to find his house "disturbed." Leik's nephew, John Norman Collins, 23, had a key to the house. Going on Leik's report and other...
