Myra Bronstein Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 -Joseph P. Kennedy advised his son President Kennedy to offer Robert Lovett any Cabinet post he might desire, right? -Lovett declines, but ends up making recommendations on who to bring into cabinet, among them: Robert S. McNamara, Dean Rusk, and (good lord) McGeorge Bundy, right? -Lovett was a New World Order warrior. So what's the story? -Did Joe know the kind of person Lovett was? -Was Joe cut out of the same cloth as Lovett? -Did Joe assume Jack was also cut out of Lovett cloth? Or -Did Joe grossly misjudge Lovett and set his son up for the introduction of a bunch of Lovett snakes in his administration? Or -Some other scenario I can't fathom?

Myra, Read the Best and the Brightest. BK Thank you BK. Myra -- On edit: Ah, now I remember. I avoided reading books by Halberstam because I got the impression he was a wee bit of a mouthpiece. I guess you think he's credible BK? (I"m not challenging your reading choices, just trying to decide if I can get reliable info from this author.)
