	Ludovic Kennedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludovic Kennedy followed his late father into the navy; he served as an officer on destroyers, mostly in the same northern seas.
		Kennedy contended that Evans was innocent, and that the crimes had been committed by the serial killer John Christie.
		Kennedy resigned from the Liberal Democrats in 2001 ([2]), citing the incompatibility of his pro-voluntary euthanasia views with those of Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy (no relation) who is a Roman Catholic.

		Instead she devoted herself wholeheartedly to being a wife to Ludovic Kennedy and mother to their four children, though she continued to appear at Covent Garden and later became a competent stage actress, as well as a writer, broadcaster and lecturer.
		It is possible, of course, that she forgot that it was through the film that she captured the heart of Ludovic Kennedy, who was persuaded to see it by his mother, even though he had no interest in ballet.
		She was, however, vetoed for appointment as BBC Governor for the Arts by Margaret Thatcher, a decision which Ludovic Kennedy assumed had been taken for reasons of "petty partisanship" (he had stood as a candidate for the Liberal Party) and which he could not find it in his heart to forgive.

	The Truth Seeker - Respected Broadcaster Claims 'Too Many Black Faces on TV'
		And now that Sir Ludovic Kennedy has commented on it he has, unsurprisingly, been accused of “racism” -- in much the same way that criticism of Israel and Zionism is automatically labelled ‘anti-Semitic’.
		But Sir Ludovic is clearly not racist, he is simply remarking on a fact that is all too obvious to some.
		SIR Ludovic Kennedy, the former broadcaster, author and veteran campaigner for liberal causes, caused astonishment yesterday by saying there were too many fl people appearing in television programmes.

	INNOCENT - Fighting miscarriages of justice
		Ludovic Kennedy has a strong claim to be the founding father of all the recent "miscarriage of justice" investigations.
		He went on to write five further books that questioned judicial decisions of one sort or another, of which the best is perhaps his assault on the whole conduct of the Stephen Ward case, which was the Establishment's revenge for the Profumo affair of 1963.
		That is what Kennedy has done virtually all his life and this unusual book is a fitting testament to what has been an exceptional achievement.

		Ludovic was a midshipman living at Bedford when he heard the report on the BBC 9 o’clock news.
		Captain Kennedy had been warned previously that the Deutschland was in the area and the outlines of the main surface ships of the German Navy were very similar.

	Amazon.co.uk: All in the Mind: Farewell to God: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Ludovic Kennedy explores the question of whether we are any longer justified in interpreting what we call God as an autonomous, independent, sentient being, or whether the time has come to recognize him as we do all history's gods - as images created by the human mind to meet human needs.
		Ludovic Kennedy writes a very personal account of his experiences with Christianity, charting it's birth, rise throughout history, and irrelevance towards modern society.
		Although this is interesting to all of us who are sceptical when it comes to religion, Kennedy's account is a little too personal and we can feel that this book is an act of revenge for all of those boring church services he was forced to sit through as a spotty teenager.

		Kennedy concluded a recent two-page article directing the following words to the British public: "Surely, as a people, we no longer feel a need to acknowledge and pay tribute to a god that may have been real enough to our ancestors, but which for most of us today exists only as an archaic, atavistic idea.
		Ludovic Kennedy's atheistic beliefs go back to his youth.
		The distinguished writer argues that faith is just a dream and there is greater spirituality in nature and art." Of course, many Britons and Europeans would not necessarily hold to such extreme beliefs, but their continuing and growing presence is a definite sign of the times.

	SERIAL KILLER PROFILE
		Ludovic Kennedy makes the case that Christie developed a deep hatred of women, especially those who tempted him, because he knew he could not satisfy them.
		He saw action once when a mustard gas shell knocked him unconscious and temporarily blinded him (although Kennedy points out that there is no record of this blindness in existence).
		(Kennedy indicates that this incident happened as soon as he arrived in London, but in any case it had the same effect.) This began a long stage of hypochondria.

	Minette Marrin: No wonder the Queen feels desolate
		Ludovic Kennedy was reprimanded on television last week for refusing to take any interest in the mysteries of computer technology; he says he has no need of it, but other guests on Newsnight insisted on our duty to keep up with the times.
		A powerful idea seems to have taken root, planted perhaps, or at least carefully cultivated, by New Labour, especially after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, that the country is undergoing a profound change, and that those who are not for it are against it and therefore "out of touch".
		Computers have caused a revolution in convenience, but not in consciousness; anyone prepared, like Ludovic Kennedy, to put up with a little old-fashioned inconvenience is no worse off without one.

	Too many Asians, blacks on TV: author Kennedy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Sir Ludovic Kennedy's comments have been rejected by both BBC and ITV, but they come in the wake of concern that the failure of a recent Asian television drama to attract sufficiently large audiences could prompt producers to cut back on ethnic films.
		After its dismal ratings (1.2 million viewers on the first night and 900,000 on the second), Sir Ludovic's views will be like another nail in the coffin for those who have hitherto argued that British broadcasters do not pay enough attention to the ethnic minorities.
		Sir Ludovic, 83, is the acclaimed author of such books as 'Pursuit: Sinking of the Bismarck' and 'Euthanasia: The Case for the Good Death' and presenter of This Week on television from 1956 to 1959.

	Minette Marrin: October 1991
		Fascinated, like the rest of us, by sensational court-room drama, Ludovic Kennedy attended every day of the trial of Stephen Ward, the unfortunate doctor caught up in the Profumo-Keeler scandal and who was mysteriously charged with living on immoral earnings.
		It is perhaps no coincidence that Ludovic Kennedy's recent autobiography was called On My Way to the Club.
		However, it must be said that, tabloid tastes or no, Ludovic Kennedy has been an eloquent campaigner against the evil of capital punishment and a very influential voice against many shameful miscarriages of justice in England.

		Kennedy asks at the end of his book how much longer the ‘god’ idea will remain.
		Though d’Holbach, writing in the 18th century, anticipated the extirpation of Christianity by 1800, he is quoted in Kennedy’s book: “he who combats religion resembles one who uses a sword to kill fruit flies: as soon as the blow is struck, the fruit flies...
		Similarly G E Moore, whose view Kennedy finds mystifying, wrote of God: “I think there is no evidence for his existence, I think there is also no evidence that he does not exist”.

	Fiona's True Crime Book Reviews: K
		In a quietly affecting style, Ludovic Kennedy (author of 10 Rillington Place) acquaints us with the characters of Lindbergh and Hauptmann in the years before their fates intertwined.
		Then he outlines the chain of events that led to this textbook case in how to frame a innocent person for a crime.
		Kennedy wisely sidesteps the vexing question of who did kill the Lindbergh baby to focus on the unforgettable story of the kind and hardworking German carpenter who became a scapegoat for a country's guilt.
