Cheat Sheet - Exclusive: The Last Days of Mary Kennedy

The Cheat Sheet

Today: Mubarak in Critical Condition, Niall Ferguson on How Europe Could Cost Obama the Election, Will Hispanics Rally With Romney?
Cheat Sheet: Morning

June 10, 2012
EXCLUSIVE

Long before her suicide, Bobby Jr.’s wife was unraveling. In Newsweek, bestselling Kennedy historian Laurence Leamer reveals what the housekeeper saw, stunning details from Bobby’s sealed divorce affidavit, in which Bobby alleges that Mary physically abused him, and more.

DICTATOR

Deposed and disgraced Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak is in critical condition Sunday, according to an Egyptian security official. Rumors swirled that through the country that the man had already died, just a little more than a week after a judge sentenced him to life in prison for his complicity in the deaths of protesters during the popular uprising last year that led to the toppling of his regime. Mubarak’s wife and daughters-in-law visited the former president in prison Sunday morning, according to the official. Mubarak’s health has deteriorated rapidly since his sentencing, with officials saying earlier this week that he had entered a “dangerous” phase.

ELECTION STORM

Spain has accepted a big bank bailout, but the Eurostorm isn't ending anytime soon—and it may come to American shores just in time for the election, writes Niall Ferguson.

VAYA CON MITT

Prepare to hear more mangled Spanish from the haircuts on the campaign trail. The GOP and Mitt Romney are prepping an all-out assault on the 2–1 hold Democrats have over the Hispanic vote, a fight that might help determine the course of the coming presidential election. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s camp has rolled out a new Spanish slogan: “Junto con Romney,” or “Together With Romney.” And the candidate is preparing for a major speech to Hispanic conservatives later this month. The push for greater support from the Hispanic community—a demographic Romney dealt with little in the Bay State—may also persuade him to reconsider his stance on immigration reform.

VIOLENCE

Forces loyal to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad kept up a brutal artillery barrage Sunday, according to activists, bombarding a coastal area where fighting with rebels has been intense for several days. Helicopter gunships and other heavy weaponry backed the government forces, while rebels said that they have killed close to 60 soldiers and wounded 200 more since fighting began Tuesday in the Haffa area. Syrian media claimed Saturday that “terrorist groups” had targeted public facilities, including a national hospital. Six children were killed in the fighting when a shell struck a house Saturday. The artillery strikes reportedly continued Sunday in the city of Latakia.
