Librettist:Joyce Carol Oates
Synopsis
The story unfolds at a July 4 party and concerns an idealistic young girl infatuated with an attractive liberal senator. She goes off with him by car and drowns accidentally. The plot's resemblance to the Chappaquiddick incident that involved Senator Ted Kennedy and a young female aide is barely disguised.
