第一篇：Edward M. Kennedy: "chappaquiddick"

Edward M. Kennedy: "chappaquiddick"

my fellow citizens:

i have requested this opportunity to talk to the people of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />massachusetts about the tragedy which happened last friday evening. this morning i entered a plea of guilty to the charge of leaving the scene of an accident. prior to my appearance in court it would have been improper for me to comment on these matters. but tonight i am free to tell you what happened and to say what it means to me.

on the weekend of july 18, i was on martha's vineyard island participating with my nephew, joe Kennedy -- as for thirty years my family has participated -- in the annual edgartown sailing regatta. only reasons of health prevented my wife from accompanying me.

on chappaquiddick island, off martha's vineyard, i attended, on friday evening, july 18, a cook-out, i had encouraged and helped sponsor for devoted group of Kennedy campaign secretaries. when i left the party, around 11:15 p.M., i was accompanied by one of these girls, miss mary jo kopechne. mary j was one of the most devoted members of the staff of senator robert Kennedy. she worked for him for four years and was broken up over his death. for this reason, and because she was such a gentle, kind, and idealistic person, all of us tried to help her feel that she still had a home with the Kennedy family.

<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />mary jo kopechne

there is not truth, not truth whatever, to the widely circulated suspicions of immoral conduct that have been leveled at my behavior and hers regarding that evening. there has never been a private relationship between us of any kind. i know of nothing in mary jo's conduct on that or nay other occasion -- the same is true of the other girls at that party -- that would lend any substance to such ugly speculation about their character.

nor was i driving under the influence of liquor.

little over one mile away, the car that i was driving on the unlit road went of a narrow bridge which had no guard rails and was built on a left angle to the road. the car overturned in a deep pond and immediately filled with water. i remember thinking as the cold water rushed in around my head that i was for certain drowning. then water entered my lungs and i actual felt the sensation of drowning. but somehow i struggled to the surface alive.

i made immediate and repeated efforts to save mary jo be diving into strong and murky current, but succeeded only in increasing my state of utter exhaustion and alarM. my conduct and conversations during the next several hours, to the extent that i can remember them, make no sense to me at all.

although my doctors informed me that i suffered a cerebral concussion, as well as shock, i do not seek to escape responsibility for my actions by placing the blame either in the physical, emotional trauma brought on by the accident, or on anyone else. i regard as indefensible the fact that i did not report the accident to the policy immediately.

instead of looking directly for a telephone after lying exhausted in the grass for an undetermined time, i walked back to the cottage where the party was being held and requested the help of two friends, my cousin, joseph gargan and phil markham, and directed them to return immediately to the scene with me -- this was sometime after midnight -- in order to undertake a new effort to dive down and locate miss kopechne. their strenuous efforts, undertaken at some risk to their own lives also proved futile.

all kinds of scrambled thoughts -- all of them confused, some of them irrational, many of them which i cannot recall, and some of which i would not have seriously entertained under normal circumstances -- went through my mind during this period. they were reflected in the various inexplicable, inconsistent, and inconclusive things i said and did, including such questions as whether the girl might still be alive somewhere out of that immediate area, whether some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys, whether there was some justifiable reason for me to doubt what has happened and to delay my report, whether somehow the awful weight of this incredible incident might, in some way, pass from my shoulders. i was overcome, i'm frank to say, by a jumble of emotions, grief, fear, doubt, exhaustion, panic, confusion and shock.

instructing gargan and markham not to alarm mary jo's friends that night, i had them take me to the ferry crossing. the ferry having shut down for the night, i suddenly jumped into the water and impulsively swam across, nearly drowning once again in the effort, and returned to my hotel about 2 a.M. and collapsed in my rooM.

i remember going out at one point and saying something to the room clerk.

in the morning, with my mind somewhat more lucid, i made an effort to call a family legal advisor, burke marshall, from a public telephone on the chappaquiddick side of the ferry and belatedly reported the accident to the martha's vineyard police.

today, as i mentioned, i felt morally obligated to plead guilty to the charge of leaving the scene of an accident. no words on my part can possibly express the terrible pain and suffering i feel over this tragic incident. this last week has been an agonizing one for me and for the members of my family, and the grief we feel over the loss of a wonderful friend will remain with us the rest of our lives.

these events, the publicity, innuendo, and whispers which have surrounded them and my admission of guilt this morning raises the question in my mind of whether my standing among the people of my state has been so impaired that i should resign my seat in the united states senate. if at any time the citizens of massachusetts should lack confidence in their senator's character or his ability, with or without justification, he could not in my opinion adequately perform his duty and should not continue in office.

the people of this state, the state which sent john quincy adams, and daniel webster, and charles sumner, and henry cabot lodge, and john Kennedy to the united states senate are entitled to representation in that body by men who inspire their utmost confidence. for this reason, i would understand full well why some might think it right for me to resign. for me this will be a difficult decision to make.

it has been seven years since my first election to the senate. you and i share many memories -- some of them have been glorious, some have been very sad. the opportunity to work with you and serve massachusetts has made my life worthwhile.

and so i ask you tonight, the people of massachusetts, to think this through with me. in facing this decision, i seek your advice and opinion. in making it, i seek your prayers -- for this is a decision that i will have finally to make on my own.

it has been written a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles, and dangers, and pressures, and that is the basis of human morality. whatever may be the sacrifices he faces, if he follows his conscience -- the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow man -- each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. the stories of the past courage cannot supply courage itself. for this, each man must look into his own soul.

i pray that i can have the courage to make the right decision. whatever is decided and whatever the future holds for me, i hope that i shall have been able to put this most recent tragedy behind me and make some further contribution to our state and mankind, whether it be in public or private life.

thank you and good night.

probability ofbased on disputed acoustic evidence. today, Kennedy continues to rank highly inof former u.s. presidents.

john Kennedy met his future wife, jacqueline bouvier, when he was a congressman. charles l. bartlett, a journalist, introduced the pair at a dinner party. they were married a year after he was elected senator, on september 12, 1953. Kennedy and his wife were younger in comparison to the presidents and first ladies that preceded them, and both were popular in ways more common to pop singers and movie stars than politicians, influencing fashion trends and becoming the subjects of

numerous photo spreads in popular magazines. although eisenhower had allowed presidential press conferences to be filmed for television,

Kennedy was the first president to ask for them to be broadcast live and made good use of the mediuM. jacqueline brought new art and furniture to the white house, and directed its restoration. they invited a range of artists, writers and intellectuals to rounds of white house dinners, raising the profile of the arts in america. the Kennedy family is one of the most established political families in the united states, having produced a president, three senators, and multiple other representatives, both on the federal and state level. john Kennedy's father, joseph p.

the president was closely tied to popular culture, emphasized by songs such as "twisting at the white house." vaughn meader's first

family comedy album—an album parodying the president, first lady, their family and administration—sold about four million copies. behind the glamorous facade, the Kennedys also experienced many personal tragedies. jacqueline had a miscarriage in 1955 and a stillbirth in 1956. their newborn son, patrick bouvier Kennedy, died in august 1963.

Kennedy had two children who survived infancy. one of the fundamental aspects of the Kennedy family is a tragic strain which has run through the family, as a result of the violent and untimely deaths of many of its members. john's eldest brother, joseph p. Kennedy, jr., died in world war ii, at the age of 29. it was joe jr. who was originally to carry the family's hopes for the presidency. then both john himself and his brother robert died as a result of assassinations. Edward had brushes with death, the first in a plane crash and the second as a result of a car acciden(请继续关注wwW.HaowORd.CoM)t, known as the chappaquiddick. Edward died at age 77, on august 25, 2014, from the effects of a malignant brain tumor.

some corroborated reports allege, but others deny, that Kennedy had

affairs with a number of women, including: marilyn monroe, gunilla von post, judith campbell, mary pinchot meyer and mimi beardsley alford.[

第五篇：Edward scissorhands影评及观后感

Edward scissorhands影评及观后感约翰尼与薇诺娜初次相见是在一次影片首映典礼上。当时薇诺娜正去取一杯可乐，"爱神"使他俩互相认出对方，只四目相交，匆匆一瞥，外界的一切便在彼此眼中倏然消失。数月后，他俩便开始了爱情的程。在《剪刀手爱德华》一片中的默契配合，使他俩的恋情更深了，约翰尼在右臂上刺了"永远的薇诺娜"几个字，以示对爱情的忠贞不二。薇诺娜起初还以为那是贴纸，千方百计想把它擦掉，当她意识到只是徒劳时，惊得目瞪口呆。更令人叫绝的是，约翰尼表示死后要将刺了字的皮肤揭下留给子孙后代。

不仅仅是"爱德华"这个角色与众不同，更由于薇诺娜参演的缘故，约翰尼对《剪刀手爱德华》这部影片情有独钟、十分偏爱。他说："能和心爱的人一起工作，而且还有钱可赚，那种感觉简直是棒透了！"在炎炎烈日下，他整天穿着从头包到脚的黑皮衣，手戴12英寸长的"剪刀手"而毫无怨言，至于每日早晚要花很长时间很大功夫上妆、御装和苦练使用剪刀手的艰辛，则更不在话下。在爱的绿荫下，他心里流淌着不竭的甘泉。

" i knew right then,' adds johnny. i knew then i had falling in love with the love of my life"----johnny

i thought maybe he would be a jerk,' says winona. `i didn't know. but he was really, really shy and far from any jerk..' ---winona

(“我知道正是那个时候。”约翰尼补充道：“我知道那以后我爱上了我生命中的爱人。”——约翰尼

“我原以为他可能是个古怪的人。”薇诺娜说，“我不知道，但是他真的真的最非常害羞，一点也不古怪。”——薇诺娜 )

1989年,德普遇见薇诺娜．”那一刻就像电影中一样，所有东西都逐渐模糊，而只有她是清晰的．”德普这样说．而薇诺娜说，那一刻，分明只有几秒钟，却能感觉到时间像静止一样停滞．

一个是正在上升的女星，”全世界最幸运的女孩”;一个是性格男星，正被注视着的叛逆男孩．一见钟情．

那一年，薇诺娜17岁．关于她的海报挂满美国各地．她是大众情人，她的美丽打动着所有影迷的心-----无论他们爱不爱她的电影．没人注意她的不快乐，没人能深刻的理解她的童年，没人知道，从13岁她便在镜头前ng,action声中度过．她说，她是没有青春的孩子．

那一年,德普25岁.年纪轻轻,却已结婚又离婚,并有两次订婚.他文身,吸毒,组摇滚乐队,不懂得结婚与订婚间的区别.他叛逆,拒绝传统,并反抗一切.

他们的相似在于,表面风光，内心却苦闷无比.

也许,就因为这个,他们心灵相通,互相理解,并疯狂相爱.

德普曾这样形容他们的爱情."跟她在一起,与以往的感觉完全不同.我觉得,之前我从未真正的与别人交往过.lori,我的第一个女友,她很好,但似乎并不是真的爱我.sherilyn 欺骗过我,而我也似乎不在乎她.jen,我们建立深厚的关系,但仅仅是某种关系,我们没有任何实质的发展.而薇诺娜,她是不同的.她是我的一切,她是我的心,我的灵魂,她是我未来的妻子,我孩子的母亲,我们家的主人.没有人可以替代她的位置.相信我."

<剪刀手爱德华>上映后,两位主角的关系大白于天下,并被炒作的沸沸扬扬.他们肆无忌惮的对着记者宣泄自己的情感.是的,他们相爱,天下人都为之而感到幸福.而没有人想到,不幸的种子,正是这样悄悄种下.

18岁,薇诺娜迎来了事业的最高峰.而她的抑郁也达到了极点.她曾在凌晨两点对着写有"薇诺娜,世界上最幸运女孩"的广告牌痛哭失声.而此时,德普努力的分担着她的压力,并对这种痛苦感同身受."我很害怕她会死去，每当她看起来不太好时，我都会因担心她所受的苦难而哭着睡着。我不知道如果我的生命里没有了她我会怎么办。"

他照顾她,在她难过的时候,用手指插进她的喉咙,帮她吐出来.人人都说,在他的照顾下,她在逐渐好转.他们开始形影不离.在洛杉基,他们有了一栋房子,然后他们计划着再买一间阁楼.德普做早餐,而他们一起在床上享用.他们一起收拾器皿，德普负责清洗，而薇诺娜将它们弄干．尽管是明星，他们却有着普通情侣般的生活．而不同，也许就在于，他们比别人更加浪漫和疯狂．

”她已经完全迷上他了．只要有他在身边，无论何时何地，她都会完全的拥入他怀中．”当时的采访中，有这样的描述．

他们是那么恩爱，以至于对着记者的采访记录述说衷肠，面向镜头，旁若无人的拥抱依偎．他们不能忍受分离，每次单独排戏，薇诺娜总要留些纪念物在身上，就好象德普陪在身旁．然后他们憧憬结婚,薇诺娜梦想着一次蜜月旅行，德普计划着两人一起离开美国，到处漫游，躺在沙滩上喝烈酒.事实上，他们确实准备了订婚戒指．而德普则做了更疯狂的事．他带着薇诺娜去文身,她看见她的名字是怎么样永远的留在了他的身上．75美元,"winona forever".

“我从来没有成为那些喜欢出去疯并且想在别人面前控制一切的男孩中的一个。当你在成长时会经历一系列判断错误。没有坏的选择，只有错误的选择……人总会犯错误。我们先前的关系并没有人们想象的那样深厚，但是我在过去27年所经历的任何事情都无法与我同薇诺娜在一起的感觉相比。你能够想象一些真实的事情，但那完全不同于你真正地去体验它。事实是相当有力的——相信我，这个“永远的薇诺娜”文身不是我轻率地做的一件事，她的眼睛可以杀了我……”德普这样谈论这件别人眼中似乎疯狂的事.面对采访者,他甚至说过这样的话,当他死后,将把文身淹制起来,送给薇诺娜和她的孩子们.而文身的计划，他其实已经思

考了五个月．

童话之所以会被称为童话，也许就在于它的短暂和不真实．德普和薇诺娜的故事也是如此．他们的爱情只延续了四年．四年中，他们忍受着媒体的追捧和诽谤．他们的爱情被不负责任的夸张和扭曲．媒体解读他们的爱情，又制造着矛盾．因为两人的关系实在太完美，媒体甚至自己编造虚假新闻．两人最终和平分手．而整个故事最悲惨的那部分，莫过于，分手后，他们依然相爱．

而薇诺娜,她是不同的.她是我的一切,她是我的心,我的灵魂,她是我未来的妻子,我孩子的母亲,我们家的主人.没有人可以替代她的位置.相信我.

过了许多年，提起那段分手的往事，两人仍唏嘘不已．分手后，某次记者穷追猛打下，薇诺娜曾慌张的说下这段话．”关于我们之间的事情，你还要让我说什么？如果我恨德普，也许我会有许多话想说．但是，我仍然爱着他．对于我，他是最好的那个．而我只能尽量不去想这些事．”

”遇见德普的时候，我还是处女．他改变了我一生．他是我最初的所有．他给了我第一次真正的吻．他是我第一个真正的男友．他是我第一个依靠．所以，他将留在我心里，到永远．”

而德普，过着更加放任的生活．对于他来说，薇诺娜是他前三十岁人生中最初与最后的爱．从此，他遇见一个又一个长相气质酷似薇诺娜的女人．面对采访，他说是自己搞砸了那段爱情．”当我想到薇诺娜的眼睛．take my breathe away的曲子就会在我心中响起．”那首歌，是属于他们的主题曲，在他们的爱情中，这首歌被一提再提．”每次听到这首歌，我和薇诺娜的往事都会重会心中．事实上，89年到93年的那些歌，总会让我想到我和薇诺娜在一起的日子，那段时间，我真的很幸福．”分手四年后，提到薇诺娜，德普依旧这样说．再然后，他结婚，生子．往事被深锁在心中．对于薇诺娜，他终于做到只字不提．

但大家都说，德普不可能忘记薇诺娜．人们都说，薇诺娜是德普最初的爱情，他只是把她放在心里最隐秘的角落．甚至蒂姆波顿，德普的老朋友，也说过这样的话，”我相信德普仍会与薇诺娜在一起．也许不是现在，而是将来的某个时刻．虽然德普已经有了两个孩子．”在波顿眼里，他们是这般的天造地设．”他们爱的绝望．甚至当他们已经分手很久，德普都不愿承认已经分开这个事实．”

波顿说，德普想要个孩子．事实上，德普经常憧憬做父亲的那一刻．”我要给我的孩子看剪刀手爱德华．我的孩子会说，爸爸，你和妈妈在那部影片中真是太酷了！”他甚至计划

着为未来的孩子戒烟，怕自己成为孩子眼中的混蛋父亲．而德普现在真的有了一儿一女，只是他们的妈妈，不是站在剪刀手身边的那一个．

尽管经过了很多年，人们仍然希望薇诺娜和德普可以复合．他们的朋友做出过很多努力．波顿曾怂恿克里斯蒂娜里奇跟德普谈谈＿他们是至交好友，人们希望薇诺娜能回到德普身边．之后的日子，人人都知道薇诺娜过的并不好，她传出过许多诽闻，但无一长久，而事业也渐入低谷．德普也一样．当他跟名模凯特莫斯共同出现在人们视野中时，谁都能发现，这不是从前的德普，就好象从前那个德普已被薇诺娜永远的带走了．

而德普自己也期待着与薇诺娜的另一次合作．他们在一起筹划着拍一部叫＜just be together＞的电影．在他眼中，薇诺娜永远是最好的演员．为了第二次合作，他宁愿去等．他们有过愉快的谈话，德普期待着”未来的某天，有些什么可以再次发生．”甚至薇诺娜也做出过愉快的回应．

但是，他们之间，终究什么都没再发生．

2014年,薇诺娜带着未付款的衣物走出服装店.举世皆惊.谁都不理解为什么心中如此完美的偶像会堕落到做偷东西的贼.人们说她是想引起人们的注意.她因偷窃走上法庭,那段时间她频频暴光,负面新闻连连. 而德普在她最痛苦的时期站了出来.他送她一打粉红色的玫瑰.还有一个字条.上面写道:"不要烦恼.这种麻烦,总会在最出色的人身上发生.祝你在法庭上有好运.我相信你."

而从那以后,德普完整的洗去关于薇诺娜的文身.与妻子,儿子,女儿,隐居法国,归于平静安稳的家庭生活.德普的名字,再没有过与薇诺娜同时出现在小报上.

从此,再也没有人用 babydoll 和my tattooed bad boy互称对方.这段小插曲,成为德普和薇诺娜最后的传奇.

而好来坞的电影圈中,再没出现过如此疯狂,炽热,完整的爱情故事.

"我想为她去死.我是这样的爱她.我不知道没有她,我该做什么.我希望我可以吻遍她的所有疼痛,使它们消失,停止,不在出现在她身上.若她因此而哭泣,而我不知所措,我情愿杀死自己.我爱这个女孩,我爱她超过我爱自己."------约翰尼德普 (1989年,12月)

约翰尼得普开车拉着荣获奥斯卡影后提名的玉女薇诺娜，带着身后的狗仔队飞驰在一条乡间的小路，先是从一只猫身上轧过去，然后在记者镜头下与薇诺娜激吻，接着告诉她以后离我远远的，就在薇诺娜愤怒地跳下车时，突然发现眼前巨大的广告牌子上写着，薇诺娜，我永远爱你，落款约翰尼得普。
