	Martha Moxley - The Recently Solved Murder
		The Skakel brothers were well know in the neighborhood for their behavior and lack of discipline -- and also because they were the nephews of Ethel Skakel-Kennedy, widow of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
		Skakel had died of cancer two years earlier leaving her husband Rushton to raise their large and reportedly unruly family.
		The Skakels stopped cooperating with police in early 1976 and have since refused to be interviewed.

	COURTTV.COM - KENNEDY COUSIN ON TRIAL
		Skakel, the 41-year-old nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, faces 60 years in prison — which was considered life in prison when the crime was committed — if convicted of a single count of murder.
		Skakel was released on bail and unsuccessfully fought to have the case remain in juvenile court; if he had prevailed, the case would have been adjudicated by a judge, not a jury, and Skakel would have faced little if any jail time in the event he was convicted.
		Skakel, a recovering alcoholic, was sent against his will to the Elan School in Poland Springs, Maine, after leading Windham, N.Y., police on a chase while intoxicated that ended with a car crash.

	BT Research - Robert Kennedy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Kennedy worked hard to make the Harvard varsity football team as an end, was a starter and scored a touchdown in the first game of his senior year before breaking his leg in practice, earning his varsity letter when his coach sent him in for the last minutes of the Harvard-Yale game wearing a cast.
		Hamill wrote an anguished letter to Kennedy noting that poor people kept pictures of JFK on their walls and that Robert Kennedy had an "obligation of staying true to whatever it was that put those pictures on those walls." Kennedy traveled to California, to meet with César Chávez who was on a hunger strike.
		Kennedy's policy objectives did not sit well with the business world, in which he was viewed as something of a fiscal liability, given that the tax increases necessary to fund such programs of social improvement would be a threat to sustained economic growth.

		Daughter of a driven, alcoholic coal magnate and a borderline-alcoholic mother, Ethel Kennedy is portrayed as an arrogant, abusive, highly erratic woman who spent her married life trying to prove herself as competitive and shrewd as the Kennedys.
		Jerry Oppenheimer does a masterful job at detailing the life of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, daughter of a shrewd, self-made millionaire father and a mother who was both a compulsive spender and an extremely devout Catholic, a faith she passed on to her daughter Ethel.
		Ethel comes across as a mass of contradictions: devout and rowdy, self-congratulatory about her parenting skills as well as blind to her children's unmet needs, arrogant and surprisingly insecure.

	New Haven Register - Skakels lawyer seeks reversal
		Skakel, 43, is serving 20 years to life for the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley, a 15-year-old neighbor of the Skakel family in Greenwich.
		Skakel’s late father, Rushton, was the brother of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, widow of U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
		Attorney Hope Seeley told the court that Skakel’s conviction should be thrown out because he was not arrested until 2000, and that the statute of limitations on second-degree murder was five years at the time of the crime.

	TARPAULIN SKY NONFICTION: John Philpin, Asterisk, The Sin of Michael Skakel
		September 19, 1960: Ethel Skakel Kennedy’s sister-in-law, Anne Skakel, gave birth to her fifth child, Michael—who, like her other children, was born with an asterisk.
		Littleton escorted the Skakel group that enjoyed drinks and dinner at the Belle Haven Club that night, but the investigation of Kenneth Littleton proceeded exactly as far as the rest of the investigation: nowhere.
		It would seem, then, that the unfounded rumor tying Smith (a *Kennedy) to the Moxley case had little or nothing to do with the reinvestigation of the 1975 homicide—but perhaps it was of some value to Dunne as he marketed his novel, A Season in Purgatory, little more than a year after Smith’s trial.

	The Other Mrs. Kennedy : An Intimate and Revealing Look at the Hidden Life of Ethel Skakel Kennedy
		Jerry Oppenheimer is quick to condemn and slow to praise; while some of the background and information is enlightening, I would caution the reader to use his or her own judgment rather than Mr.
		Oppenheimer is working entirely from sour-grapes rather, and instead of any insight into the complicated life of Ethel Kennedy, we're left with a bunch of old news headlines from the scandal sheets.
		If you're interested in the Kennedys, there are better authorized and unauthorized biographies; if you're interested in the Skakels, stop reading when Ethel marries Bobby, because the book slides terrifyingly downhill from there.
