TED KENNEDY’S FINAL WORDS ON CHAPPAQUIDDICK

The late Ted Kennedy writes of the Chappaquiddick incident in his forthcoming autobiography, True Compass.

Nothing really surprising here, as this is basically what he said 40 years ago in a nationally televised statement, just a few days after the moon landing.  It was a week like no other in the history of American broadcast news.

‘ONLY TEDDY KNOWS’

Here’s a link to an interesting article from the Boston Herald.  I offer it without any accompanying commentary, except to say that I obviously discuss this incident in 1969: The Year Everything Changed.

Greetings from Rob

Thanks for visiting my web site! Throughout 2009, I'll be turning back the clock by 40 years to revisit key events from that exciting year of 1969. Keep checking back for updates to my blog on 1969: The Year Everything Changed, as well as stories related to my new books on Bruce Springsteen and baseball star Cecil Travis.
