...felony that requires proof of "wanton or reckless conduct"; drunken driving, a misdemeanor; and "driving to endanger," another misdemeanor under an unusual Massachusetts law that calls for evidence of a "negligent attitude." The inquest thus necessarily centered upon whether Kennedy was negligent in not seeking help sooner to rescue Miss Kopechne, whether he had made a serious effort of his own to save her, the manner in which he drove his car that night, and how many alcoholic drinks he had at the cookout preceding the death...
...Doors. The major leaks from the courtroom concerned the testimony of Paul Markham and Joseph Gargan, both lawyers and friends of Kennedy who had attended the Chappaquiddick cookout with him. They confirmed to Judge Boyle that they had helped Teddy try to rescue Miss Kopechne shortly after the car submerged. Gargan told of diving into the water and trying to open the car doors.

The haul included $450,000 worth of checks in Dice's possession and $171,000 in cash held by an associate. Subsequent arrests in Las Vegas, New York and Biloxi, Miss., brought the catch to 14. All were charged with violating interstate gambling laws. Said U.S. Attorney James Ritchie: "Statements made by some of those arrested and seized records indicate a national scheme involving famous figures in baseball and football and hundreds of trainers and jockeys...
...Louis. From that unlikely platform, she crusaded for academic reform and feminism in roughly equal parts. In 1967, she astonished the religious world by getting a papal dispensation that released her from her vows and Rome's approval to secularize the college. Last June she left Webster as Miss Jacqueline Grennan and became vice president of New York's Academy for Educational Development, where she studied ways to expand independent study in U.S. colleges. She also married Paul J. Wexler, the Jewish president of a mail-order recording company, in a Catholic ceremony at which a rabbi assisted...
