...pain, the courtroom was probably the easier ordeal. Arriving 25 minutes before the 9 a.m. trial was to begin, Kennedy, accompanied by his wife Joan and his brother-in-law Stephen Smith, looked like a ruined man, the strain clearly showing in his drawn face. When the clerk asked for his plea, the Senator softly replied, "Guilty," then, after a second, "Guilty," in a louder voice that all the reporters and onlookers who crowded the 1840-vintage courtroom could hear. He uttered no other word during the nine minutes the proceedings lasted...
...Edgartown, across the channel from Chappaquiddick; the women were put up at The Dunes, a motel several miles away. Kennedy had raced his yacht, the Victura, that afternoon in the first heat of the annual Edgartown Regatta, an event long attended by members of his family. Kennedy's wife Joan remained at their summer home on Squaw Island off Hyannisport. "Only reasons of health," Kennedy said, prevented her from joining him.

Twelve years he's been married; twelve years of his live shot to hell. That's why Jack Lemmon is able to make Brubaker so much worthier an object of sympathy (or empathy, depending on your age group) than Benjamin. Braddock stumbles through situations picking up the emotional cost with a sort or moral charge plate...
...Brubaker has already paid for everything--with huge chunks of his soul and his precious time. So when Catherine (her name is Gunther instead of Deneuve, she is Brubaker's boss's wife--a fact which eludes him through most of the film, and her life is similarly desolate and sterile) comes to his attention at Gunther's party (yes, this film begins with one too) and he says, "Name's Brubaker. Buy you a drink?" It's a masterstroke of justice that she replies, "I'll get my things...
