and Mary Jo Kopechne wasn't an intern. she was a 29 year old woman who helped set up campaign headquarters. And Kennedy has said he wasn't drunk that night (though his Irishness makes that suspect). The real controversy is that she survived in an air pocket and he failed to get help in time. However looking at the events of the night you could argue his near death experience and having to swim across a dangerous chanel to get to his hotel coupled with the fact he mistakenly thought she had died exonerate him of true wrongdoing. He himself says his failure to call for help or report the accident for several hours were inexcusable, but to me it looks like post traumatic shock.
