Ted Kennedy[1] could never erase the tragedy at Chappaquiddick, Mass., not even in Gstaad, Switzerland.
In “Real Lace Revisited: Inside the Hidden World of America’s Irish Aristocracy[2]” (out Thursday from Lyons Press) author James P. MacGuire tells of a dinner party at the chalet of Bill and Pat Buckley.
After the other guests had left, Teddy asked if he might borrow a car to return to his hotel.
“At that point, Patricia Taylor Buckley drew herself up into her most imperious glare, and said, ‘Are you serious? Don’t you know there are no fewer than four bridges between here and there?’ ” MacGuire writes.
