On the July 18, 1969 the car driven by Senator Edward Moore Kennedy, then a 37-year-old United States Senator plunged off Dike Bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne died. From the dj, 'In seeking the answers to the many questions that surround the Chappaquiddick incident, Leo Damore conducted over 200 interviews, many with people close to the case - including police officers - who had never before spoken to the press. He had access to the files on Chappquiddick locked in the district attorney's vault in Barnstable, and to personal notes about the case kept by key investigators of the accident. The result of his meticulous research is Senatorial Privilege, the true story of what really happened during those dark hours of at Poucha Pond, and over the months ahead, in the world of the Kennedy compound, as a massive apparatus of power and influence schemed and plotted to assure for Ted Kennedy life-after-Chappaquiddick's-death.' . more information

Inquest clearly traces the process by which this official story came into being; it does not indulge in theoretical speculation about a deliberate suppression of crucial evidence. Mr. Epstein instead proposes an explanation based on the concept of 'political truth': the Commission, sincerely convinced that the national interest would best be served by the termination of rumors, and predisposed by its make-up and by the pressure of time not to search more deeply, failed to answer some of the essential questions about the tragedy. . more information

New York: William Morrow & Co.. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1972. Hard Cover. Foreword by James MacGregor Burns. 510 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Ted Kennedy, (Edward Moore Kennedy), 1932-, U.S. senator from Massachusetts (1962-), brother of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy and youngest son of Joseph P. Kennedy, b. Boston, Mass. He served (1961-62) as an assistant district attorney in Massachusetts before being elected (1962) as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. After the assassination of his brother Robert in 1968, he became the acknowledged leader of Senate liberals and served (1969-71) as assistant majority leader. His political future was marred by his involvement in the Chappaquiddick incident (July, 1969), in which Mary Jo Kopechne, a passenger, drowned when the car he was driving fell into a creek. Kennedy's reputation recovered, however, and he continued to advocate such liberal programs as national health insurance and tax reform. He was long considered a potential Democratic president, but withdrew in 1974 from the 1976 race and failed in a 1980 primary challenge to Jimmy Carter. He has chaired the Senate judiciary (1979-81), labor and human resources (1987-95), and health, education, labor, and pensions (2001-3) committees. Kennedy is the author of Decisions for a Decade (1968) and In Critical Condition (1972). . more information

From the Publisher: Investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh shows us a John F. Kennedy we have never seen before, a man insulated from the normal consequences of behavior long before he entered the White House. His father, Joe, set the pattern with an arrogance and cunning that have never been fully appreciated: Kennedys could do exactly what they wanted, and could evade any charge brought against them. Kennedys wrote their own moral code. And Kennedys trusted only Kennedys. Jack appointed his brother Bobby keeper of the secrets-the family debt to organized crime, the real state of Jack's health, the sources of his election victories, the plots to murder foreign leaders, and the president's intentions in Vietnam. The brothers prided themselves on another trait inherited from their father-a voracious appetite for women-and indulged it with a daily abandon deeply disturbing to the Secret Service agents who witnessed it. These men speak for the first time about their amazement at what they saw and the powerlessness they felt to protect the leader of their country. . more information

From the dj: Of all the great love stories that have had an impact on our times-Eleanor and Franklin, Winston and Clementine, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor-none has remained as shrouded in secrecy and misunderstanding as that of John and Jacqueline Kennedy. Here, for the first time, their story is told the way it was " always meant to be told-with such depth and amazing detail that it sheds a whole new light on the relationship at the heart of Camelot. For many years, Edward Klein, the former editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine, was a friend of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Drawing on his personal knowledge, major research libraries, private documents and correspondence, FBI files, and more than three hundred interviews, All Too Human is an original and unprecedented work on the Kennedys-a book replete with fresh facts and information, as well as a dramatically new interpretation of the Kennedy marriage. . more information

Now, for the first time in almost thirty years, explosive new evidence reveals much about the CIA's involvement in an event that devastated the entire nation and irrevocably altered the course of history. In Plausible Denial, Mark Lane, author of Rush to Judgement, the provocative and bestselling critique of the Warren Commission's official report on the assassination, makes startling revelations about the CIA's involvement in a plot to murder the President. Plausible Denial is the result of documents made available by the Freedom of Information Act and by sworn depositions Lane was able to take from former CIA operatives and officials for a little-publicized libel trial in the U.S. District Court of Miami.' . more information

From the dj: John Kennedy and William Manchester fist met in Boston in 1946. Young New England vets, they were both still recovering from crippling wounds suffered in the Pacific, where they both had been in fierce combat. While their careers would diverge, the friendship and respect that had spontaneously developed when they fist met, grew and deepened over the years. Knowing Manchester, confident of his discretion, and certain that he not only did not wan but would never accept a government position, President Kennedy was extraordinarily candid in their conversations. JFK encouraged Manchester to expand a series of magazine articles into the book Portrait of a President. Because of that work, JFK's widow and his brother Bobby selected Manchester to write the authorized history of the assassination, The Death of a President. Research for that book gave Manchester extensive and frequently exclusive access to the President's family, friends, and aides. Manchester writes that while JFK's death was a tragedy, his life was a triumph, and One Brief Shining Moment is a celebration of that triumph. . more information

The motive, Ruby explained, was patriotic fury. But leading European journalists proposed another scenario. The Mafia, enraged by the Kennedy's anti-crime crusade, had murdered the president and then ordered Oswald silenced to cover its trail. This suspicion was supported years later by aging Mafia don Johnny Roselli, who admitted to newsmen and Senate probers that Ruby was 'one of our boys' and had been dispatched to kill Oswald. Soon after, in 1976, Roselli's body was found floating in Miami's Biscayne Bay. In 1979, following a two-year probe, the House Select Committee on Assassinations reached a similar shocking conclusion. The murder of JFK, it reported, was a probably conspiracy, and the Mafia had the 'motive, means, and opportunity' to kill him. . more information

Thompson reveals that the Kennedy administration knew about the missiles in Cuba by March 1962, long before the official warning. Moreover, Kennedy appears to have been planning a full-scale invasion of Cuba, scheduled for late 1962, a plan that he abandoned only when the potential cost in American lives became clear. . more information
