Jerry,
You might try
The Kennedy Men: Three Generations of Sex, Scandal, and Secrets 
Nellie Bly



Adam Clymer,  Describing his book Edward M. Kennedy
"Having said that, I tried to write what I think is a very traditional 
biography, a story of a public man and his effect on other people's lives, 
the politics and the spirit of his time. Chappaquiddick is here, Palm Beach, 
getting thrown out of Harvard for cheating. None of them truly fascinated me 
because it never occurred to me that there was any prospect of learning 
anything more about them."

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?
