From a interview with National Review's Linda Bridges on the topic of William F. Buckley Jr.;
Lopez: What’s your most fun Mrs. Buckley memory?Bridges: Well, my favorite Pat story is not a personal memory of mine — I was told it by others who were there (including her husband). But it has to do with the time in Switzerland when the Buckleys’ dear friends (though political opponents) Ken and Kitty Galbraith came to visit them, bringing along a friend of theirs, none other than Ted Kennedy. The Galbraiths lived in Gstaad, the Buckleys in Rougemont, a few miles down the valley. They spent a pleasant afternoon together, and then the Galbraiths had to continue down the valley towards Geneva, while Kennedy stayed on. Finally it was time for him to return to Gstaad, and rather than take the train he asked if he could borrow a car. “You certainly may not,” said Pat. “There are three bridges between here and Gstaad.”

Bwahahaha!
I,DE RATHER HUNT WITH DICK CHENNEY THEN RIDE WITH TED KENNEDY,MORE POEPLE DIED IN KENNEDYS CAR THEN DIED AT THREE MILE ISLAND
Kennedy tends to see double after tipping tea cups, hence the difficulty with bridges.
Gailbraith was the economist who was most wrong most often and most of the time, yet he lead a charmed life shmoozing with the rich and famous.
Economists, fruit-fly doctors and World Warmers set up Non-Profit foundations and do very well.
I could do that. Guaranteed non-profit, I*ll spend every cent. = TG
