In this continuing episode within our Kennedy Chronicles, we pick up the storyline of Ted Kennedy, and into the events of what should have been a wonderful July weekend in 1969. A group of twelve – six men and six women - gather to celebrate so many things. There is a whole lot happening this weekend on Chappaquiddick - the Apollo 11 moon journey, the 43rd Edgartown Yacht Club Regatta, and the memory of Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated just a year before. 

How does this fun-filled weekend turn into Ted’s very worst nightmare? In this episode, we set up the facts we can establish. What are the details of this weekend that everyone can agree upon, at least on Friday, before Saturday comes around?

In today's episode, we take a look at the early life of Ted Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy children. Ted was a kid that took a lot of risks, with much to prove within his famous family. Not that any of that risky behavior ceased once Ted settled down with Joan Bennett. Ultimately, that marriage was not successful, ending in divorce after almost a quarter of a century, helped along with the many scandals and missteps of the last of the famous Kennedy children.

In this introductory episode about Dunne's writing on the Kennedy family, we explore a bit of the history and background about exactly why the Kennedy family hated Dominick Dunne so much. Dunne was there to cover so many of their scandals, and unlike the Kennedy men, always kept the inconvenient woman at the center of his narratives.
