...exuberance which comes with freedom." All this could be applied to causes even more arduous-and at least as worthy-as reaching the moon. But it can happen only with the help of two forces that are extremely hard to bring into play, and there is no evidence as yet that they are being marshaled. They are national leadership and national will...
...stated editorially: "It is in his own best interest as well as the public's that all the facts should come out." The Cleveland Press, reviewing the questions left unanswered by Ted's police station statement, declared: "The public is entitled to a better explanation than it has had yet."

Mary Jo had been looking forward to the weekend on Martha's Vineyard. It meant seeing her old friends from the Boiler Room, perhaps playing some nostalgic games of touch football and having yet another chance to root for a Kennedy. She had never worked directly for Ted Kennedy. In fact, some of her friends remember that, in comparison with his brothers, Ted Kennedy was not an idol to Mary Jo Kopechne...
