Title: Teddy Kennedy
Review: On Page 11 of "The Shark Mutiny" (soft cover) Robinson describes Kennedy thusly: "..the vastly experienced Senator Ted Kennedy, whose unwavering patriotism and endless concern for his country made him always a natural leader among such men.""Such men" in this book are the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the CNO, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the "Defense Secretary" (as Robinson calls the position), and various NSC members.Oh really. It's evident Robinson's home in Cape Cod plays a role in his beatification of Chappaquidick Teddy who obviously, among his many fears, hates being in the water. And this is a book about watermen.No, I truly doubt the above-mentioned military men hold Kennedy in the esteem Robinson does. Just the opposite, I'll bet.Once I saw that passage, I threw the book away since it was apparent other passages would lead to further preposterous observations.Mark Berent
