Among other cover stories, U.S.News & World Report took a look into the mysterious death of Mary Jo Kopechne, who died from drowning while in a car with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. U.S. News quoted from the decision to keep the testimony silent: "The inquest here presents unusual problems. It has aroused great public interest, which in turn has stimulated very great efforts by the press, radio, television, and other media to provide news coverage. . . . If the proceedings are public, the activity of the news media may be such as to make it difficult if not impossible . . . to insure to a defendant a fair trial in any criminal proceeding which may follow the inquest."
