NATIONAL REVIEW — The big gaps in Teddy Kennedy's "explanation" of what happened that night on Chappaquiddick continue to be filled by rumor and, naturally, by speculation. Various scenarios are circulating, such as the one pieced together by Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson, which has Teddy concocting a plan to have his factotum Joseph Gargan take the rap, a plan abandoned by Teddy, Markham, and Gargan the next morning.

ALAN KEYES — How do we know what's new? One of the empirical consequences of aging is that one's perception of "what's new" changes over time. In my experience, the fact that self-driving cars are right this instant headed toward a highway near where I live is something new. Passion-driven teenagers gathering in droves to demand changes in public policy is not. Neither is the fact that the changes they seek logically contradict the result for which they yearn.... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — Cynics like to claim that Christians at Easter unknowingly celebrate a pagan spring fertility rite that the church co-opted for its own purposes. This is nonsense. Easter is directly related to the Jewish week of Passover. Jesus Himself was the sacrificial paschal lamb, crucified for the sins of the whole world before His resurrection on the third day. His rising and the empty tomb are the ultimate celebration of new life not just here on earth but for all of eternity.... (more)

And he wasn't there because he had been raised from death to life.... (more)
