I have never been a Kennedy family fan, particularly of any of the generations past John, Bobby, and Teddy.
American royalty mystique?
They’re over-indulged, well-to-do freaks, living off the martyrdom and money of one thin sliver of Kennedy family glory. If you strip ignominious, pre-Lion of the Senate harbor-diver Teddy out…
…Ted managed to escape the submerged car, and he later said that he dove down multiple times to try to rescue Kopechne before giving up. He said he made his way back to the party and then returned to the car with a cousin and a friend who also tried to rescue Kopechne but were not successful. They did not notify the police about the incident until approximately 10 hours after the crash.
…Ted did not call the police in the immediate hours after the incident, but other calls were made that night.
Numerous calls charged to Ted’s credit…
