And on its surface, the Chappaquiddick Event (as it has infamously become known) was a straightforward but tragic traffic car accident. However, its political fallout brought on it to become the most speculated-upon car accident until Princess Diana's fatal trip, some 28 years later: Was Kennedy drunk? Was he aiming to conceal an affair by intentionally eliminating Kopechne? Why did he await so long before reporting the car accident? And who else was engaged? Olsen instructs the story with as much depth as was distributed around him. Though you can find apparently only an individual living eye-witness to the car accident (Kennedy himself, who referred to getting the "sensation of drowning" on live television set a week later), Olsen tracks down the incongruous statements made by other people who were indirectly engaged and involves a potential bottom line which would be difficult to refute. There is absolutely no legal proof this bottom line, of course, but his different explanation of situations turns a lot of the circumstantial research into a logic-of-sorts. And his presentation thereof causes someone to reflect seriously on the type of the official record of situations as informed through Kennedy's mouth.
