James Richards Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I was wondering if anyone has a reference or information that confirms newsman Dan Rather was a close friend (from childhood) to LBJ aide Cliff Carter? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Do we know whether they were raised in the same city? They were both Texas boys as I recall. If they were raised in the same city it is certainly possible they knew each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Richards Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 Thanks, Bernice. That is most curious. The implications of that are interesting indeed. It sure makes one ponder the early Dan Rather viewing of the Zapruder film and his comment about JFK being violently thrusted forward. Could Carter have been pushing his buttons?

James <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wonder if there is any connection from Rather to Ed Clark...? Then again we do not know, what version of the Zapruder that Rather actually saw, the early viewers mention about the terrible scenes of the head shots, but neglect to address what else is seen...in relation to all so, we are simply left ,imo ,with more questions...? As usual... Thanks.....B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
