Douglas Caddy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 From the article: “The Bibbs controlled the U.S. Border Patrol and international border crossing at Eagle Pass,” says the younger Worthington. “There are a number of family stories about L.B.J. and a lot of high-powered friends”—he mentions Sam Rayburn, the Texas-bred Speaker of the House, and F.B.I. chief J. Edgar Hoover—“visiting the Bibbs in Eagle Pass, [only to end the night with] crazy … wild partying and womanizing across the border in Mexico in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.” (While such excursions sound conceivable, given Johnson’s late-night proclivities, they might have been out-of-character for Rayburn, an acknowledged straight arrow, and Hoover, whose sexual tastes crossed a very different border.) http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/04/jack200804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Collins Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I always believed the Sinatra kidnapping was a little payback for getting Kennedy elected in the first place. Kathy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
