- Where Was Teddy?

- <p> The day of reckoning approaches for William Kennedy Smith.
- The 30-year-old med-school student, a nephew of Senator Ted
- Kennedy, surrendered to police in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday,
- to face charges that he raped a 29-year-old woman on the family
- estate over Easter weekend. In a nine-page affidavit that
- described the alleged crime in clinical detail, Palm Beach
- County state attorney David Bludworth filed one charge of sexual
- battery, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 4 1/2 years
- in prison, and a misdemeanor charge of battery.
- </p>
- <p> Court documents also indicate that Senator Kennedy may
- have whisked his nephew out of town on Easter Sunday to shield
- him from a police interrogation about the incident and that the
- Senator himself ignored requests to speak with investigators.
- The Kennedy camp last week indignantly denied suggestions of
- impropriety. But police chief J.L. Terlizzese said his men were
- "definitely misled" and that the department was looking into why
- residents in the Kennedy home had not made themselves available
- to detectives.
