Kennedy draws line between Watergate and Chappaquiddick
In a Washington television interview broadcast by BBC, Senator Edward Kennedy said fair minded people should distinguish Watergate from Chappaquiddick, calling his tragedy a real accident and noting Watergate involved deliberate distortion and rights violations. An attorney for Mary Jo Kopechne's parents said Kennedy’s insurer paid 110025 to settle the death claim, with no personal payment from Kennedy.
