This from the Oliver Stone movie.....

Walking together on a secluded beach, Ted Kennedy tells Mary Jo he can’t make love to her because, “I’m married, and it would be morally wrong.”

A distraught, drunken and humiliated Mary Jo runs alone to Ted’s parked car, starts the engine, and roars down a dark and unfamiliar road, only moments away from her tragic, accidental death.....

I stand corrected. Rush is right. I Googled it and verified that indeed Kennedy's car has killed more people than commercial US nuclear power. Thanks.

Maybe not, but enough are to keep electing him. Sad.

july18 or most probably 19th when she died, but i always remember it being tied to the first moon landing ( the 21st ), since it gave cover for the news networks to ignore the kennedy crime.

The only punishment that Teddy suffered as a result of Mary Jo's murder was that his license was suspended for a few months....six I believe.

According to Howie Carr...a local columnist and talk host who's studied the Kennedys for years....Teddy was caught behind the wheel at least twice during the period of suspension.

Add to that the fact that Teddy named one of his dogs "Splash" and you have the profile of a pure sociopath.

I always think of Night of the Hunter. When I see that lady sitting in the car under water, I think of Teddy and Mary Jo.

It's a subtle difference. But most people associate nuclear safety with commercial power generation.

Besides the SL-1 incident, there have been criticality accidents associated with nuclear technology development. There were a couple in the Manhattan Project. There was one a few years ago in Japan. There have been a couple of fatalities associated with commercial irradiators that use radioactive sources or accelerators. In general, these are exceedingly rare accidents, especially compared with risks we accept on a daily basis (driving cars, climbing ladders, etc.) that have higher fatality rates.

Crapola? Remember we are dealing with Kennedy’s.

Imagine trying to close the door of an Olds when it is upside down under water and the car is nose down. Pushing a door (that needs to be slammed to secure it) with enough force to expel water and overcome gravity would be next to impossible. And why would you close it?

then why did teddy claim that he dove under several times to try to get mary jo out, but could not? no the whole thing stinks to high heaven, and it should be that every time kennedy speaks in public, somebody should have a gurgling cod or something similar to remind him and everyone around of what he did.
