Dean,
I am not a Kennedy fan by any stretch of the imagination. I despise the man. 
But I am curious as to were the documentation is on the "Harvard Spanish 
finals," the denial of a "Commission in the Army because he cheated on a 
test."

Do you have the documentation in your "hot little hands?" Or can you find 
it?
