Brown U. figured in Watergate. Howard Hunt and Chuck Colson were members of the Washington, D.C. chapter of Brown U. Alumni. Hunt persuaded Colson to hire him at the White House. Once there Hunt starting quietly working to drive Nixon from office, taking his orders from CIA Director Helms. When it was all over, both Colson and Hunt went to prison. I can imagine how Colson wished that he had never known Hunt.

Lee D. Shepherd wrote on Facebook today: A word about Secret Service agent Paul Landis. What does his account mean? When Landis helped Mrs. Kennedy out of the car at Parkland Hospital, he saw an intact bullet on the back seat where the top would [normally] be secured. Two large bullet fragments were found in the front seat of the limo, and slivers of lead fragments were recovered from an area below the jump seat where the governor’s wife, Nellie Connally, had been sitting. Landis claims he placed it on JFK’s gurney at Parkland Hospital. His disclosure came sixty years after the fact which is understandable as it raises many questions and places the “magic bullet” theory in doubt. The supposition was that the retrieved intact bullet had been discovered on Governor Connally’s gurney, not Kennedy’s. It was from this assumption, in part, that the Warren Commission reached its pivotal conclusion: The available evidence indicates that “the bullet found on the Governor’s stretcher”—the single bullet—“could have caused all his wounds.” Also, amid the blood and gore, Landis remembers, were two bullet fragments on the back seat, next to where Jackie had been sitting. Of the eight agents in the follow up car, code-named “Halfback,” none but 31-year-Clint Hill made any move to catch the president’s limo, and no one returned fire, even though some of them were equipped with automatic weapons. The media report that “Secret Service men immediately unslung their automatic weapons and pistols,” was an incorrect statement. Landis, the agent stationed on the right side of the follow-up vehicle, remained frozen and never relinquished his hold on the door grip. Landis might just as well have been somewhere else that afternoon. These were supposedly men honed to a matchless edge, but on that bright clear sunny day, there was near total lack of response. Had the Secret Service men reacted as they should have...the sniper crouching behind that window would certainly not have been able to get off a second or third shot, as the Commission says he did.” Landis' statement from his book, that he was momentarily suffering from PTSD, is unacceptable
