Today is Mary Jo Kopechne's birthday. We might have the story all wrong.

Any portrayal of her being conscious before Ted Kennedy drove her slowly at 15mph into a place where his car would roll over into water might be incorrect and unfair to her.

She had been a Catholic school teacher.  Suppose she got promoted out of that job to get her out of the way because she had been noticing abuse.  Suppose she tried to use her new job in Kennedy's "boiler room" to speak to him about her suspicions, then got silenced. 

Suppose she made it clear she had something important to report and he realized what it must be, then he insisted on her telling him over dinner, then when they were seen together it led everyone to think they were out on a date and that's what their being together had been about.

    Back then, some members of the Democrat party still had a few morals. It was well known that Teddy had his eye on the Oval Office and Mary Jo was a complication toward that goal that had to be dealt with.

    Back then the Southerners controlled the party.   They have moved on to their resting places and the republican party. 
    What's next?
