    coming late to this, but there is so much that makes no sense here - JFK found out about Sol Estes ripping people off with goats etc and got him convicted? No, the president of the USA is not going to be going after local criminals. And then you say Sol Estes' conviction was overturned because of cameras in the courtroom? No such constitutional issue. B.S. And if his case was overturned, he would not have had to be paroled. And I am just scratching the surface of this silliness. This is all fiction.

    Wikipedia shows how wrong you are.

    Doug,

    I've been listening to this terrific old Sinatra recording all month-- the only time Sinatra ever sang with Bing Crosby.

    (From the 1956 film, High Society, which also features Louis Armstrong's band and Grace Kelly in Newport, Rhode Island.)

     

    From Facebook today: In early 1943 Frankie Sinatra’s manager tried to book him at the elite Copacabana night club in New York City. He was turned down. So he settled for a three week engagement at the lesser known Riobamba Club in New York City in April 1943 for $750.00 dollars a week. There were three shows in the evening into the next morning and Sinatra did all three to standing room only crowds. 8:30pm, 1200am, 2:00am. By the end of the third week it was standing room only for his shows even at 2:00 am. His salary rose to $1,200.00 a week and the Copacabana begged for his services. This is an account of Sinatra’s performance at the Riobamba club. Three times an evening, Sinatra ... steps into the baby spotlight that splashes on to the dance floor. In a come-hither, breathless voice, he then sings such songs as 'You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To', 'That Old Black Magic', 'She's Funny That Way', and 'Embraceable You'. As he whispers the lyrics, he fondles his wedding ring and his eyes grow misty. A hush hangs over the tables, and in the eyes of the women present there is soft contentment. The lights go up and Sinatra bows, slouches across the floor and is swallowed up by the shadows.
    –George Frazier, Life magazine, May 3, 1943.
    Dean Martin in September of 1943 was a last minute substitution for Sinatra at the Riobamba club. That’s where they both met each other. As 1943 progressed he became increasingly incredibly popular and was in demand by most everyone and by the end of that year he was unbelievably followed and loved by millions of people especially teenage girls and young women.

    Important book by Max Boot, "The Road Not Taken" about life of General Edward Lansdale

    Holy cow, you must have a read a drastically misprinted version of Boot's book. You could not have read the same version I read. I cannot fathom how you could conclude that Boot's book explains why Lansdale would have wanted JFK dead. Boot just does the opposite and explains why the far-left fantasies about Lansdale as a JFKA conspirator are downright obscene. We could not have read the same book. 

    I, too, recommend Boot's book, but not for the same reasons you do. 

    I have never read Boot's book. If you read what I posted on 8/20/23, it starts with "Message I received today from Robert Morrow:" Robert has a new posting not far above in this topic. Your conversation should be with him, not with me.

    A complete contradiction with Gorsuch's previous rulings! Very cool!

    The phrase "the Gorsuch case" rang a bell with me. Did any of you guys see the great film "Body Heat" in the 80's?

    I loved it! But the case that tarnished lawyer Ned Racine (William Hurt's) past was called the Gorsuch Case.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Wow! I loved "Body Heat," especially its ending that almost jolted me out of my seat in the theater but never dreamed it would lead to what you connected here.
