(12) Men of Courage: President Kennedy-elimination Evidence, Motives, Suspects, Discoveries, + Dedicated Citizen Researchers, provided by Donald Roberdeau (page 12 of 14)

"The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy."

(1979 United States House Select Committee on the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin L. King Final Report)
((a.k.a. the “HSCA”))





"The commission has found no evidence that either Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy."

(1964 United States President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy Report,) ((a.k.a. the “Warren Commission”))









During the HSCA investigation of the President Kennedy assassination, former
C.I.A. Finance Officer JAMES B. WILCOTT testified that he had learned
that former U.S. Marine LEE HARVEY OSWALD had been paid
by the C.I.A. while OSWALD had been ordered stationed
and served at the Top Secret airbase in Atsugi, Japan
for the C.I.A.-run U-2 jets overflight surveillance
missions covering Communist Russia
and Communist China.







[QUOTE]

I am no longer confident that the Central Intelligence Agency
co-operated with the committee. My reasons follow:

The committee focused, among other things, on (1) Oswald, (2) in New
Orleans, (3) in the months before he went to Dallas, and, in particular,
(4) his attempt to infiltrate an anti-Castro group, the Directorio
Revolucionario Estudiantil or DRE.

These were crucial issues in the Warren Commission's investigation;
they were crucial issues in the committee's investigation. The Agency
knew it full well in 1964; the Agency knew it full well in 1976-79.
Outrageously, the Agency did not tell the Warren Commission or our
committee that it had financial and other connections with the DRE,
a group that Oswald had direct dealings with!

What contemporaneous reporting is or was in the Agency's DRE files?
We will never know, for the Agency now says that no reporting is in
the existing files. Are we to believe that its files were silent in 1964 or
during our investigation?

I don't believe it for a minute. Money was involved; it had to be
documented. Period. End of story. The files and the Agency agents
connected to the DRE should have been made available to the
commission and the committee. That the information in the files and
the agents who could have supplemented it were not made available
to the commission and the committee amounts to willful obstruction
of justice.

Obviously, too, it did not identify the agent who was its contact with
the DRE at the crucial time that Oswald was in contact with it: George
Joannides.

During the relevant period, the committee's chief contact with the
Agency on a day-to-day basis was Scott Breckinridge. (I put aside our
point of contact with the office of chief counsel, Lyle Miller) We sent
researchers to the Agency to request and read documents. The
relationship between our young researchers, law students who came
with me from Cornell, was anything but "happy." Nevertheless, we
were getting and reviewing documents. Breckinridge, however,
suggested that he create a new point of contact person who might
"facilitate" the process of obtaining and reviewing materials. He
introduced me to Joannides, who, he said, he had arranged to bring
out of retirement to help us. He told me that he had experience in
finding documents; he thought he would be of help to us.

I was not told of Joannides' background with the DRE, a focal point of
the investigation. Had I known who he was, he would have been a
witness who would have been interrogated under oath by the staff or
by the committee. He would never have been acceptable as a point
of contact with us to retrieve documents. In fact, I have now learned,
as I note above, that Joannides was the point of contact between the
Agency and DRE during the period Oswald was in contact with DRE.

That the Agency would put a "material witness" in as a "filter" between
the committee and its quests for documents was a flat out breach of
the understanding the committee had with the Agency that it would
co-operate with the investigation.

The committee's researchers immediately complained to me that
Joannides was, in fact, not facilitating but obstructing our obtaining of
documents. I contacted Breckinridge and Joannides. Their side of the
story wrote off the complaints to the young age and attitude of the
people.

They were certainly right about one question: the committee's
researchers did not trust the Agency. Indeed, that is precisely why
they were in their positions. We wanted to test the Agency's integrity.
I wrote off the complaints. I was wrong; the researchers were right. I
now believe the process lacked integrity precisely because of
Joannides.

For these reasons, I no longer believe that we were able to conduct
an appropriate investigation of the Agency and its relationship to
Oswald. Anything that the Agency told us that incriminated, in some
fashion, the Agency may well be reliable as far as it goes, but the truth
could well be that it materially understates the matter.

What the Agency did not give us none but those involved in the
Agency can know for sure. I do not believe any denial offered by the
Agency on any point. The law has long followed the rule that if a person
lies to you on one point, you may reject all of his testimony.

I now no longer believe anything the Agency told the committee any
further than I can obtain substantial corroboration for it from outside
the Agency for its veracity. We now know that the Agency withheld
from the Warren Commission the C.I.A.-Mafia plots to kill Castro. Had
the commission known of the plots, it would have followed a different
path in its investigation. The Agency unilaterally deprived the
commission of a chance to obtain the full truth, which will now never
be known.

Significantly, the Warren Commission's conclusion that the agencies
of the government co-operated with it is, in retrospect, not the truth.

We also now know that the Agency set up a process that could only
have been designed to frustrate the ability of the committee in 1976-79
to obtain any information that might adversely affect the Agency.

Many have told me that the culture of the Agency is one of
prevarication and dissimulation and that you cannot trust it or its people.
Period. End of story.

I am now in that camp.

United States House Select Committee on Assassinations: "Oswald, the C.I.A., and
Mexico City Report" (1979)

. . . . A.K.A. "The Lopez Report". . . . This report is part
of the 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations Report
---- but it’s details were held strictly “classified.” It was not
released by the C.I.A. for 14 years. In 1993 it was finally released,
in part, for The People, even though several segments were, still,
heavily withheld by being “blacked-out” and redacted.

It was then reviewed and released by the ARRB with less redactions
in 1995, then again in 1996, then, finally, released unredacted in
2003, almost 25 years after investigators developed the details that
it contained.

The report authored by its HSCA Investigators SOTO EDWIN "Ed" JUAN
LOPEZ and DANIEL HARDWAY examines in detail OSWALD's alleged trip
to Mexico City, Mexico in the Fall of 1963, less than 2 months
before the assassination.

Later, when an assassination researcher interviewed LOPEZ about
the "Oswald, the C.I.A., and Mexico City Report" and LOPEZ
was asked, wasn’t there supposed to be this section about OSWALD
and the C.I.A. included for the final HSCA Report and why was his
report not included?,

LOPEZ was very surprised that it was gone, and he can then also be
heard on the interview tape flipping through the pages of the report....

.... and then LOPEZ states....


"It’s completely gone," adding,

“They [the C.I.A., my insertion] hated it ---- that section, totally. They just hated that section."






HSCA Investigator EDWIN LOPEZ testifying to exactly
what he and others discovered about OSWALD
(Showtime cable TV mock-trial of OSWALD, 1986)

.... Their investigations details led LOPEZ to determine that OSWALD had. . . .

worked for the C.I.A. in a low-level capacity,

. . . . and . . . .

that he was deliberately impersonated by someone in Mexico City, Mexico
only weeks before 11-22-63,

. . . . and . . . .

that rogue C.I.A. agents (who hated JFK) were responsible for
setting OSWALD up as the assassination “lone-nut” “patsy.”










video interview given by Ms. SYLVIA ODIO detailing the incident of her pre-assassination encounter with LEE HARVEY OSWALD (whom the Warren Commission tried to paint as pro-CASTRO), accompanied with his two very violently militant, anti-CASTRO cohorts, at the exact same time when the Warren Commission "lone-nut"-apologists theorize a bus was taking him to Mexico City.














Long before (and after) 11-22-63 the C.I.A. with the Mafia had been working together because of their intersecting, common motives.

This conspiring together of the U.S. government with the Mafia had been ongoing and steady from as early as, at least, World War II (possibly and probably longer), when President FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT’s government had initiated and worked together with the murderous Mafia (in ROOSEVELT’s OPERATION UNDERWORLD “deal” with the Mafia’s main accountant MEYER LANSKY) ----while HOOVER was the F.B.I. Director---- to use Mafia and their union workers to protect the U.S. governments vital military warehouses, docks, and vital wartime allies-needed military equipment and supplies against the wartime acts and terrorist acts by socialist-leftists German Nazi spies, Communists, and other enemy terrorists.

Among many intersecting motives leading to 11-22-63: after CASTRO had confiscated Mafia million$ and also kicked the Mafia out of Cuba (causing the Mafia to lose future million$ or billion$ from its gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc, that had been flowing ----and, allowed to flow for many, many decades). Subsequently, President KENNEDY and U.S. Attorney General ROBERT F. KENNEDY had also dramatically increased prosecutions more than 1100% against the Mafia from 1961 to 1963 in the short time since the previous administration. (the same Mafia that the KENNEDY's father, JOSEPH SR., earlier had closely collaborated with for decades profiting Million$ from importing illegal booze's, collaborated with and profiting million$ in penetrating the film industries in Hollywood, and reportedly KENNEDY SR.'s collaborations with the Mafia that helped swing the Illinois unionized voters, and the entire state, winning the presidency for JFK during the 1960 presidential election) ....Additionally, several extremely upset-at and JFK-hating, rogue-acting, longtime C.I.A. officers viewed and repeatedly stated publicly (as did C.I.A. Officer and Army General CHARLES PIERRE CABELL ----whom President KENNEDY had fired, but CHARLES CABELL refused to leave his Pentagon duties, and, who was, in fact, on 11-22-63 also the brother of Dallas Mayor EARLE CABELL) ---- that President KENNEDY was a “traitor” to America and the anti-CASTRO, C.I.A.-trained Cuban freedom fighters allies during the Bay of Pigs failed Communist Cuba liberation attempt. President KENNEDY did not trust the C.I.A., as evidenced by his stating to his closest friends after the Bay of Pigs that the C.I.A. had deliberately misled and flat-out lied to him, and he vowed that he would smash the C.I.A. into 1000 pieces and scatter the pieces to the winds. In 1962 ROBERT KENNEDY had already ordered the C.I.A. and Mafia to stop working together to stop developing their CASTRO-assassination teams, but, the C.I.A. decided ----internally, on its own---- to completely ignore RFK's orders, and against orders the C.I.A. continued working with the Mafia on its CASTRO-assassination teams until after President KENNEDY's assassination.









“It's quite thought-provoking to examine President John F. Kennedy from a contrarian point of view.


- Suppose JFK was not a great man?


- What if he was not considered to be a great president on November
21, 1963?


- What if his reckless personal behavior caused moral men to question
his judgment?


- What if his numerous policy blunders caused powerful men to question
his leadership abilities and judgment?”


(CHUCK HELPPIE, 2010, “Kennedy Must Be Killed," page 296 . . . . (JFK’s reckless behaviors
were, indeed, known to many, many people inside and outside the washDC insulated bubble, but,
not made public by the then (((and still))) lame-stream, transparently-biased-media))

During the Assassinations Records Review Board, in a 1994 letter from Bradley E. Ayers sent to the head of the board, John R. Tunheim, Ayers claimed that nine people based at the C.I.A.’s Miami JM/WAVE station, "have intimate operational knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the assassination" of John F. Kennedy.

Ayers named nine men working within the operations control of the C.I.A.'s Miami JM/WAVE station: David Sanchez Morales, Theodore Shackley, Grayston Lynch, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, Gordon Campbell, Rip Robertson, Edward Roderick and Tony Sforza as the men who had this information.

RONALD REAGAN, 1978, his thoughts about the JFK assassination from his 2001 audio CD, "Reagan in his Own Voice" CD 5, Track 13













In July of 1973, six months after the death of Lyndon Baines Johnson, "The Atlantic" magazine published an article by a journalist and former Johnson speech writer named Leo Janos. "The Last Days of the President," about LBJ in retirement, was sorrowful in tone and fact, except for one paragraph — in which Johnson volunteered his opinion that President John F. Kennedy's assassination had been the result of a conspiracy organized from Cuba.


"I never believed that Oswald acted alone, although I can accept that he pulled the trigger,"


he explained to Janos. Johnson thought such a conspiracy had formed in retaliation for U.S. plots to assassinate Fidel Castro; he had found after taking office that the government was running a “murder incorporated“





LBJ admitted years later that the KENNEDY administration via the C.I.A. with the Mafia....

"We were running a damn 'Murder Incorporated' in the Caribbean" (C.I.A. trained teams
to kill Communist Dictator CASTRO), and LBJ was not sure what . . . .


. . . . "might have motivated Oswald, or . . . . ahhhh......... 'others',

that . . . . ahhhhh ........ could have been involved."

Now Ramsey Clark is a fierce critic of U.S. foreign policy and domestic human rights practices, and claims that "the greatest human rights violator in the world is my own government."

RC: Ah, we had three pathologists that performed the autopsy on evening of November 22nd come in. We had to bring Finck from Viet Nam. There were only 8 of us, including the three pathologists. They went into archives last night.(1) The staff worked till midnight on the autopsy photos and X-rays. They all three seemed to have a chip on their shoulder. I think they'll go along with our [ - ] that they shouldn't talk.

LBJ: They shouldn't what?

RC: They shouldn't talk to anybody. But they are quite defensive of the criticism of them. They feel their professional reputations are at stake and what not. They say, "We haven't got it tied down as an affidavit yet." I hope they have it by Monday. They'll be working on it today or tomorrow here. They may have it done before then. But, they're so technical, so reticent about finding things that they're hard to work with. They say the autopsy photos conclusively confirm their judgment as to the bullet entered the back of the skull --- and it's not perfectly conclusive as to the one in the lower neck. It's very clear to them that they, there's nothing in the autopsy photos that contradicts anything that they said. Now, we've run into one problem last night that we didn't know of. That is, there may be a photo missing. Dr. Humes, Commander and Naval doctor, testified before the Warren Commission(2) that this one photo made of the highest portion of the right lung. The other two doctors don't recall if such a photo was made. They do recall discussing the desired ability of making such a photo. But there is no such photo in these exhibits. It could be contended that that photo could show the course and direction the bullet that entered the lower part of the neck and exited the front part. We're seeing to run that down. The only other witness that would have any judgment at all would be the corpsman, naval corpsman, that took the photos. We have to talk to him. We're not too sure, until we see what the doctors conclude. That's desirable. We are left with one specific problem. Dr. Humes did testify before the Warren Commission there was such a photo [that] we don't have.

LBJ: Wasn't delivered to you.

RC: Not delivered. That's very clear. Another part that is a concern that's not tied down either --- that's Dr. Burkley's part. You remember I talked to him on November 8th down at the Ranch after I talked with you about it. Hadn't discussed it since. He gets very emotional on the subject. His eyes start watering. He says that he knew where the autopsy photos were all the time. They were in his possession. Now, this is not --- He's not entirely clear on the matter. The possession will become an issue in a significant way and it had not been until, in our judgment, till last night because of the missing photo now. I say "missing photo." There's a contradiction of whether there was this photo.

LBJ: Ah uh. Well, they weren't actually in his possession, were they?

RC: He said that they were actually in his possession. And that he received them and had them in a safe in E.O.B. (Executive Office Building) In a vault sort of thing in E.O.B. He later released them to Mrs. Lincoln. Probably hidden them. (garbled) Which I think I know, prepared by Bobby Kennedy. I think Dr. Burkley knew what he had in every instance. He knew every minute. He, ah, I tell you the real problem is when you start talking with him about it what he said is it's just outrageous that anybody would want those photos. The personal property of the dead President's family. "Horrible" when he talked about it, thinks about it. "People shouldn't do that." When you try to explain that's a real problem, why, he --- "It just won't do at all." His inventory(3) coincides with what we had. Inventory that we got ---material was delivered to us by Kennedy representative Burke Marshall(4). So that would indicate that between his letter and what we received November 1, everything is there. Or if there were another photo, on the 4th (garbled) then Mrs. Lincoln.

LBJ: Ok. I ....

RC: I don't really think he had actual possession. I think he had something, he had constructive possession part of the time. We have evidence the material was given to him before this. At the Archives longer than this. Nobody at Archives knew it was there. Mrs. Lincoln had some storage space including some security vaults because she was working over there on the President's papers and all [for the] Presidential Library. [Of] Course people had the keys, 'course things filed up. (garbled)

LBJ: (sighing) Ok. I'll talk to you later. (abruptly hanging up on Ramsey)

NOTES:

1A. The autopsy doctors had not seen the photos before the visit to the
Archives on January 20, 1967. Commander Humes testimony before the
Warren Commission, Vol. 11, page 372:

Commander HUMES: We exposed both black and white and color 
negatives, Congressman. They were exposed in the morgue during 
the examination. They were not developed. The Kodachrome negatives 
when developed would be 405. They were in film carriers or cassettes, 
as were the black and white. Of course they could be magnified.

Representative FORD: Have those been examined by personnel at Bethesda?

Commander HUMES: No, sir. We exposed these negatives; we turned them 
over. Here I must ask the counsel again for advice to the Secret Service.

Mr. SPECTER: Yes; it was the Secret Service.

Commander HUMES. They were turned over to the Secret Service in 
their cassettes unexposed, and I have not seen any of them since. This 
is the photographs. The X-rays were developed in our X-ray department 
on the spot that evening, because we had to see those right then as part 
of our examination, but the photographs were made for the record and 
for other purposes.

Representative FORD: But they had never been actually developed for
viewing.
Commander HUMES: I do not know, sir.


1B. Humes, Boswell and Finck at National Archives The autopsy
physicians were requested by the Department of Justice to examine the
x-rays and photographs for the purpose of determining whether they are
consistent with the autopsy report.


2. Commander Humes testimony before the Warren Commission stating
that photographs were taken of the chest. Vol. 11, page 363:

Commander HUMES: It, therefore, was our opinion that the missile while
not penetrating physically the pleural cavity, as it passed that point
bruised either the missile itself, or the force of its passage through the
tissues, bruised both the parietal and the visceral pleura. The area of
discoloration on the apical portion of the right upper lung measured five
centimeters in greatest diameter, and was wedge shaped in configuration,
with its base toward the top of the chest and its apex down towards the
substance of the lung. Once again Kodachrome photographs were
made of this area in the interior of the President's chest.


3. Relevant dates are:

April 26, 1965: RFK gets autopsy materials transferred from USSS to 
Kennedy family, with the help of Admiral Burkley, military physician
to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. That day an inventory is made
out and signed by Burkley, Kellerman, Bouck, and others. Item # 1
on the list is a broken casket handle; item # 9 is a listing of numerous
body parts, plus autopsy documents.

October 28, 1966: Burke Marshall's Deed Of Gift Letter to GSA Knott 
for transfer of the autopsy materials to the archives has an
attachment listing both the clothing and the autopsy materials. Its
wording matches the April 26, 1965 transfer inventory verbatim,
except that items #1 and #9 have been taken off the list and the list
has been re-numbered to read #1 through #7.

October 31, 1966: When Archives personnel open the Kennedy
footlocker on the day of physical transfer, both Kennedy family reps
(Burke Marshall and Angie Novello) leave the room immediately as
soon as the footlocker is opened, and before an inventory is taken.
On this date, Archives personnel note that items # 1 and # 9 on the
original April 65 transfer inventory list are missing. Fortunately, the
Archives staff was on the ball. If they had only looked at the Burke
Marshall letter (and not compared it to the April 26, 1965 transfer
list), they would not have known anything was amiss.

1966: Inspector Thomas Kelley of the USSS writes memo of meeting
with Mr. Van Cleve of GSA which several govt officials attended, in 
which they all express concern about the missing "item # 9" materials,
which include what was presumably a brain, numerous tissue slides,
the original and 7 copies of the autopsy report (the real original?),
and memos on autopsy photography.

* February 1968: An inquiry by a panel of pathologists appointed by
Attorney General Ramsey Clark which examined the available
autopsy photographs and x-rays. This includes an inventory of
items examined.

(* MY INSERTION: that inquiry ((also known as the “Ramsey Clark panel”))
only lasted for about a month, but, its results were ((deliberately)) withheld
by the U.S. government for nearly an entire year -- and were only made
publicly available ((deliberately timed!)) less than 2 weeks shortly before
the Clay Shaw trial started in 1969 for his suspected involvements in the
conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy)

United States Clark Panel Report on President Kennedy Autopsy Photos and X-Rays (1968 - contends that OSWALD, by himself, killed President KENNEDY)











“We should carefully examine all the criticisms, hypotheses and suggestions
contained in the existing body of literature concerning the President’s
assassination and the work of the Warren Commission. The purpose is to
inventory the contentions so we can evaluate their validity. I would like the
task described above to be undertaken by a small group of lawyers within
the [Justice] Department on an unpublicized basis ...”

(RAMSEY CLARK, United States Acting Attorney General, in a once-secret
memo dated 11-25-66 ----the same date of the “LIFE magazine” issue
about the assassination entitled “A Matter of Reasonable Doubt”
---- in which CLARK laid out his plans in response to government-unwanted
and ever-increasing public criticisms about the Warren Commission report-
canard theories. This once-secret memo was obtained by KATHY
CUNNINGHAM. The memo was from RAMSEY to “Vinson, Sanders and Rogovin," dated
Nov. 25, 1966. Titled: “Warren Commission -- Re-evaluation of evidence”.

library)

ADDITIONAL KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOU….



President KENNEDY Medical Autopsy notes and the autopsy report generated from the notes.... The originals ---- immediately classified TOP SECRET documents ---- were admitted by President KENNEDY’s military autopsy doctor, JAMES JOSEPH HUMES (only publicly admitted to, many years later) to him taking the autopsy notes to his home, and, sometime later that weekend, in HUMES very own words, inside of his home, he personally . . . .


" destroyed by burning "


.... his personal autopsy notes written during the autopsy. Then,
HUMES burned his first draft of JFK's autopsy report. Then,
HUMES also admitted he completely re-wrote JFK’s autopsy report....

. . . . then . . . .


. . . . Also vanished within hours after JFK's autopsy were autopsy doctor PIERRE ANTOINE FINCK's autopsy notes

Here is a photo montage

of some, but not all,

of the many close medical professionals and 4 of the Dealey Plaza close witnesses who were extremely close witnesses who observed the large hole the size of an "orange or grapefruit" located at the rear of President KENNEDY's head . . . . Each witness is indicating precisely where each observed the location of that head hole.



Medical diagrams drawn and testified to for the Assassinations Records Review Board in the mid-1990’s by
some, but not all,
of the many medical professionals
who were extremely close witnesses to the
"orange or grapefruit" sized hole
at the rear of President KENNEDY's head






Here is my detailed graph based on all of the several
documented films and photos just before and
during the start of the assassination that pinpoints
each of the KENNEDY's and CONNALLY's extremely
fast head facing changes in direction. Their rapid
head facing changes in direction all started nearly
simultaneously, within 1-second, of each other.…

**** NOTE ****

the
extremely fast
head-facing direction
change reaction @ Z-155 to 158
of President KENNEDY before he was hidden
from Z-166 to Z-210 under the large oak tree from the
view of **anyone**, supposedly, targeting/shooting at him
from the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, "lone-nut" "snipers
lair". It is, imho, much more than a coincidence that 3 of these 4 limousine
rear seats passengers (President KENNEDY, Governor CONNALLY, and Mrs. KENNEDY) all
significantly snapped their heads very quickly rightward
nearly simultaneously, within less than 1-second of
each other, between Z-155 and Z-169 ---- further
supported in their all, near simultaneously,
discontinuing very abruptly the
head facing direction they each had been
steadily moving towards. (Mrs. CONNALLY
was already in the act of turning her head
rightward when her husband and the
KENNEDY’s all rapidly snapped
their heads rightward,

. . . . or . . . .

they all were nearly simultaneously, attracted to abruptly discontinue their leftward
motions, then, they all, again, nearly simultaneously, started rapidly snapping
their heads to the right within less than 1-second of each other)



“ So I was looking to the left. I guess there was a noise, but it didn’t
seem like any different noise really, because there is so much noise,
motorcycles and things. But then suddenly Governor Connally was
yelling 'Oh, no, no, no!’ ”

....

" I heard these terrible noises. You know. And my husband never
made any sound. So I turned to the right. And all I remember is
seeing my husband, he had this sort of quizzical look on his face,
and his hand was up, it must have been his left hand. And just as I
turned and looked at him, I could see a piece of his skull sort of
wedge-shaped, like that, and I remember that it was flesh colored
with little ridges at the top. I remember thinking he just looked as if
he had a slight headache. And I just remember seeing that. No
blood or anything. I was trying to hold his hair on. From the front
there was nothing --- I suppose there must have been. But from
the back you could see, you know, you were trying to hold his hair
on, and his skull on. ”

....

" And then he sort of did this, put his hand to his forehead and fell
in my lap. And then I just remember falling on him and saying,
'Oh, no, no, no,' I mean, 'Oh, my God, they have shot my
husband.’ And 'I love you, Jack,’ I remember I was shouting. ”

....

" I used to think if I only had been looking to the right, I would have
seen the first shot hit him, then I could have pulled him down, and
then the second shot would not have hit him. ”

“Well, what [Lyndon] Johnson did was, he did one thing before he expanded the war [in Vietnam]
and that is he got rid of one way or another all the people [in the Kennedy administration] who had
opposed making it an American war. Averill Harriman, he was Under Secretary of State, he made
him roving ambassador for Africa so he’d have nothing to do with Vietnam.... He found out that
I’d spent part of my childhood in the Philippines, and he tried to persuade me to become
ambassador to the Philippines.... Johnson was a very clever man.... He knew who were the hawks
and who were the doves. He systematically rid the top layers of the American government of the
doves....”
