Tom,

I don't deny those you mentioned are persons of interest to say the least. I just don't agree with your conclusion regarding Ginzburg's role.

Well Greg.... I suppose all of these connections could simply be coincidental, but could this many really add up to nothing?

The CIA financed Paris Review "crew" and their Rockefeller / Bush connected "pals" seem to be surrounding Jackie.

Tom Guinzberg was a close friend of John D. Macomber.:

George Ohrstrom was an usher in Peter Matthiessen's (of the Paris Review and the CIA) wedding, as was the sister-in-law of Richard Ober of CIA. Usher Thomas Guinzburg would later hire Jackie Onassis. He was Matthiessen's Yale roommate and presented as not being witty to Matthiessen's CIA affiliation, but Guinzburg's father was OSS minister of propaganda (OWI) and immediately after WWII led a US intelligence program intended to influence what would and would not be suitable subject matter for publication...

Jackie getting hired as an editor by Guinzberg was not an isolated or an unusual development in her circa 1975 circle(s) of influence, or even earlier.:

The cost of treachery

Madelin Low, London W6

12:01AM BST 16 May 2003

Comment

Sir - In 1949 a paramilitary operation took place to overthrow the communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha and destabilise the encroaching Soviet empire. This Anglo-American operation was totally sabotaged by Kim Philby. My father, Robert Low, who was field officer, said "it was like playing poker with a mirror behind my head".

The landings were intercepted - they realised there was a leak, but no one guessed at the time that it was Philby. What became of the Albanians who were caught does not bear thinking about.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. The story of this Albanian tragedy, which included King Zog and a cast of well-known people in this country and America, some of whom are alive today, was screened nearly 20 years ago. It is an incredible tale, and perhaps the BBC might consider screening The Cost of Treachery again. This is a true story. The characters are real. People out there might like to know what happened to those who were betrayed by Cambridge spies, and what it felt like to be on the receiving end of treachery.

A Letter From The Publisher, Mar. 28, 1949

Monday, Mar. 28, 1949

Dear Time-Reader

For Robert Low, TIME Inc.'s Eastern European Correspondent, the last three and a half years of reporting the news from both sides of the Balkans' gradually lowering Iron Curtain has been an excursion in incongruity. The Curtain is securely fastened now—except for Communist and fellow-traveling foreign journalists and Low has returned to the U.S. for a breather.

Low's first-rate reporting job during his tour of duty is perhaps best exemplified by the now historic documents on the Tito-Stalin conflict, which ended in Moscow's excommunication of Marshal Tito. Low managed to get them in advance of general publication and, as printed in TIME'S August 23, 1948 issue, they were the first complete summary of this revealing correspondence. Other Low stories that you may recall include his account of the Communist guerrilla raid on the Greek town of Naousa (TIME, Jan. 31), and Patriot George Magalios and the American aid program for Greece (Jan. 3).

Born in Seattle, Washington; attended school in San Francisco ; went to Europe with his family and attended the University of Heidelberg. He was a newspaper reporter in San Francisco and in Washington. Served as Foreign Correspondent in Europe for eight years before the last war. During the war he became a Lt. Colonel in the First Army's Armored Force. Came to TIME three and a half years ago. (Incidentally, he speaks German and French.) He was in Iran, Iraq, Greece, Turkey, etc. For the past three years, Mr. Low's beat as a roving correspondent has been the Balkan and Near East countries which he has seen, one by one, fall behind the Iron Curtain and blacked out as news sources to the outside world. Sometimes I wonder how these correspondents save their heads. Mr. Low might tell us. He has watched the Communists take over power in five European countries and has been an eye witness of civil war in Greece. Has also covered the Russian penetration into Iran and the Middle East. In covering the Balkans and Middle East Mr. Low has become well acquainted with most of the government leaders. American correspondents have the faculty of sometimes giving us news before it actually happens. And you know I am not kidding about that. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a distinct pleasure and privilege indeed to introduce to you Mr. Robert Low, TIME, Inc., Eastern European Correspondent, who will give you some words on AN AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT REPORTS ON THE BALKANS AND THE NEAR EAST. Mr. Low. (Applause) Mr. Robert Low : Mr. Hoffmann, Ladies and gentlemen,.....

C. L. Sulzberger, Columnist, Dies at 80

By ROBERT D. McFADDEN

Published: September 21, 1993

....The son of Leo Sulzberger, he was a nephew of Arthur Hays Sulzberger, publisher of The Times from 1935 to 1961. He was also a first cousin of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, publisher of the paper from 1963 to 1992 and still chairman of the Times Company.

.....

In 1977, Mr. Sulzberger was accused in an article in Rolling Stone magazine of having had a secret relationship for years with the Central Intelligence Agency. And a C.I.A. official charged that Mr. Sulzberger's Sept. 13, 1967, column on the Soviet K.G.B. had been lifted almost verbatim from an agency briefing paper.

There was no question that Mr. Sulzberger had extensive contacts with C.I.A. station chiefs and agents in many countries. And, it was pointed out, he would have been extremely useful to the agency with his access to foreign leaders and his influential voice in the pages of The Times.

The Times, after an extensive investigation, reported that the C.I.A. had counted a number of American journalists among its paid agents, but denied that Mr. Sulzberger had been among them. Mr. Sulzberger also denied that he ever worked for the C.I.A. or that he had used an agency briefing paper as a column. A Good Listener...

Soon after his appointment as Celanese Corp. president, Macomber hired Thomas Devine as Celanese comptroller and V.P., in the same year as Devine married, with Macomber's brother, William, as his best man. William was also the best man in the wedding of Bush's sister, Nancy. I discovered Nancy Bush Ellis's son's email address, and I wrote to him asking for his comments.

If you consider the narrative of Charles Bartlett introducing Jackie to JFK at his brother David's wedding, along with the rest of the leads in this post, either JFK or Jackie was clueless, and Jackie seemed consistant in her choices of who to become close to.
