...belief appears to be well founded. City officials and police are casually assumed to be on the take. Last year Newark Police Director Dominick Spina was indicted for "willful failure to enforce antigambling laws." His acquittal did nothing to convince Newarkers that their city was well policed...
Inevitably, there were those who, while not denying the deed, felt it would be better left untold. After a G.I. witness described on television what he had seen at My Lai, Colorado Senator Peter Dominick asked: "What kind of country do we have when that kind of garbage gets put on the air?" A more pertinent question was raised by William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Most likely the supporting cast will be drawn from officials involved in the event-Edgartown Police Chief Dominick Arena and Associate Dukes County Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Mills-and the residents of Edgartown and Chappaquiddick. One of the latter is Christopher ("Huck") Look Jr., a part-time deputy sheriff, who can testify that he saw two people in a black car with the license prefix "L" (Kennedy...
