While we wait, here's my guess as to what those attorney-client conversations sounded like, based on the facts in Leo Damore's book "Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Cover-Up": Interview with client Teddy Kennedy, July 19, 1969: Teddy: May I approach the bench? Lawyer: It's not a bench, Teddy. It's my desk. And no, you can't have another Chivas Regal. Teddy: (Hiccup) Lawyer: Let's start at the beginning. Teddy: I'm going to say you were driving.

I have a divine right to the presidency. I had to put that ahead of my lawyer's conscience. Anyway, Mary Jo was driving. Lawyer: Teddy, we can't say Mary Jo was driving. Teddy: What if some phony witness claimed that the driver stopped to ask for directions. Wouldn't that prove it was a woman driving? Lawyer: But what about the witnesses? Teddy: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Hey, what's so funny? Did I just say something funny? To be continued ...
