  1. Quote from Tommy:

    "I am willing to be educated by others, to educate others, and as in this case, to educate myself (with the help of others) and to share my findings and (tentative) beliefs.

    After all, isn't that what "education" is all about?"

    Yes, Tommy, that is what it is all about and thanks for articulating this. I am constantly learning new information because members such as you, Larry Hancock, Pat Speer and others who done the in-depth research write about what they have learned. I have never held myself out as an expert on the topic and appreciate the valuable work by others in this area.

  3. From Joseph McBride’s book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT: "At a private reception for Kennedy in the [Milwaukee] Arena lounge with about a hundred other guests before the [May 12, 1962, Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner] dinner, my father [Raymond E. McBride], who was covering the event for the Journal, asked the president, 'Do you ever worry about being assassinated?' Kennedy did not seem fazed by the question. He replied that he couldn’t think about being assassinated, because it would be hard for him to do his job if he did. His aide Theodore Sorensen later wrote of Kennedy, 'Simply accepting death as an inevitable fact of life, and simply recognizing assassination as an unavoidable hazard of the Presidency, he refused to worry about his personal safety -- not with any bravado or braggadocio but with an almost fatalistic unconcern for danger.'”


  4. Bill:

    Thanks for these corrections. The above assertions were posted by someone on my Facebook page yesterday and I checked out the movie, A Carol for Another Christmas, and found it commendable even if it now turns out that the Facebook poster got some of the prelude facts wrong.

    He did get right that Rod Serling wrote the screenplay for "Seven Days in May" as he is officially credited for this.

  5. This was posted on my Facebook page today:

    Rod Serling authored the 1963 motion picture, Seven Days in May about a military conspiracy to overthrow the presidency and had his
    award-winning series, The Twilight Zone, cancelled by CBS within months of his writing a letter critical of the
    reported findings of the
    President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F.
    Kennedy. whose chief architect of various fictions was Allen Dulles, the
    CIA Director JFK had fired. and senior partner at New York Wall Street
    transnational corporate law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, where he also
    managed the financial portfolio of CBS Television chairman, William
    Paley. A year later, as Lyndon Johnson,the Joint Chiefs and CIA
    committed to putting combat troops into Vietnam, Serling scripted a
    movie for ABC Television titled A Carol For Another Christmas, an
    anti-war plea for cooperation between nations, starring Sterling Hayden,
    Peter Sellers, and an all-star cast, the only TV movie ever directed by
    Joseph Mankiewicz. It aired once and then was suppressed for 48 years
