'The Teddy Kennedy Fun Room'	In the Summer of 1989 Kennedy and fellow Senator Chris Dodd were having lunch at famous Washington D.C. restaurant La Brasserie. Kennedy requested the attendance of waitress Carla Gaviglio. According to the Washington Times "When she put in an appearance in their private retreat - 'The Teddy Kennedy Fun Room' - the Massachusetts senator picked her up and heaved her onto a table. The crystal candlesticks and champagne glasses shattered as he grabbed her again and flung her on top of Dodd. "Then Kennedy threw himself on top of the woman. The waitress implored Mr. Kennedy to 'Get off me!' "Another waitress entered to find 'things all tipped over and Kennedy was on top, [the waitress] was in the middle and Dodd was on the bottom.' At that point the sandwich was disassembled."

Love the site! And I have a contribution, antidotal,(sic) and I can't remember exact dates or any other names but here goes:

I grew up in Vermont and remember an incident that occurred in Stowe when JFK was President. I think it was the winter of 1962. The Kennedy Klan was on a ski holiday and a news photographer was taking pictures of them on the slopes. Teddy grabbed the man's camera, held it by the strap and proceeded to beat the bejesus out of the photographer. The photographer required serious medical attention and, as I recall, was subsequently arrested by Stowe Police on some bogus charge. Teddy was never charged with assault or anything else. The story ran in the Burlington Free Press for several days and included a picture of the photographer after Fatboy got done doing a number on his face with the camera.

I don't know how to get into the Free Press archives, if they are even available on-line, but you may be able to get a copy of that picture, it would be a nice addition to the FATBOY archives!

Let me share my personal experience with Teddy, something I saw with my own eyes...January of 1963 in Stowe VT at a ski slope. A news photographer was taking pictures of His Highness, and the royal Self took umbrage at that "invasion" of His privacy. Himself grabbed the camera, and taking it by its strap, swung it and smashed it into the photographer's head causing the photographer to suffer a concussion. The potographer was (in the hospital) arrested and charged with something, I truly don't remember what, but no charges were ever filed against Teddy for that assault. I may not have the date right, I was a kid in High School, and it was a long time ago before Teddy Kennedy really became some "National Icon", but I remember it vividly because I knew at the time that this man was the brother of our President. And I knew at the time that what I was watching was some Rich Asshole walking away from what I or anyone else would have gone to jail for.
