When Boris Yeltsin came to power in Russia in 1991, he opened the Soviet archives.  Tim Sebastian of the BBC and the London Times found a stunning document about Ted Kennedy.  Sebastian published "Teddy, the KBG and the top secret file" in the London Times on February 2,1992.  The liberal news media in the US never reported this story.
    Paul Kendor, an author and professor of political science at Grove City College, was alerted by Marko Suprun about the Kennedy document.  Suprun's father had survived Stalin's Russia (Ukraine) in the 1930's.  Marko had been trying to get the American media to cover the Kennedy story without success.  Marko knew that Paul Kendor had been researching Ronald Reagan and the Cold War, so he sent Kendor a copy.
    Paul Kendor checked out the Kennedy document with Herb Romerstein, a respected Venona researcher and Communist Party expert.  Also Harvard's Richard Pipes, along with other scholars read both the translations and the original.
    In May 14,1983 Viktor Chebrikov , head of the KBG, wrote to Yuri  Andropov about an offer from Sen. Ted Kennedy.  Kennedy's friend, John Tunney, presented the letter. Kennedy blamed President Ronald Reagan for the bad relationship between the US and the USSR.  Kennedy didn't like Star Wars, the MX,  and the Pershing II's rockets.  Kennedy wanted Ronald Reagan's re election bid stopped; so Kennedy offered a number of PR moves to counter Reagan's propaganda.  He wanted to hook up the Soviets with the American media, like Walter Cronkite and Barbra Walters, to present the USSR's case to the American public.
