Bust

The connection should now be
obvious. The driver was a "narc"
who not only had Robert Kennedy
arrested but also his cousin and
others at that party at which of
course there was marijuana and
allegedly some hashish.

This incident resulted in a court
appearance with a suspended
sentence for the two cousins.
However, that wasn't all for the
ill-fated Robert Kennedy. His
mother, Mrs. Ethel Kennedy, not
only shaved his head but sent him
down to their home in Virginia for
the remainder of the summer. Some
might contend that this
banishment, obviously intended to
keep the youth out of trouble, was
more comparable to sending him
from the proverbial frying pan into
the fire.
