The nation found out about Mary Jo Kopechne on July 19, 1969, while Apollo 11 was entering lunar orbit, watching the Earth rise over the horizon of the Moon, and preparing to land the lunar module on the Moon the next day, all commanded by Neil Armstrong, who was preparing to be the first human to ever set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Naturally, the news was all Apollo 11, all day, all night, around the clock. Ted Kennedy's weak explanations didn’t fall apart under scrutiny as they normally would've, because hardly anybody was paying attention to someone as insignificant as Ted Kennedy that day.

She truly deserves to be memorialized. Her death may have been the deciding factor in saving us from a Ted Kennedy presidency. |
