Michael Griffith Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Of course, once LBJ became president, the Bobby Baker scandal quickly faded away, even though RFK was attorney general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Von Pein Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) FYI..... Google Books is a fine resource for many complete copies of books and magazines, such as very old LIFE Magazine issues. But Google Books doesn't have anything online for LIFE Magazine newer than the year 1972. Oldest LIFE edition (August 17, 1953) --- Click Here. Newest LIFE edition (December 29, 1972) -- Click Here. And (if you're interested)....I have a page on one of my JFK websites featuring 46 LIFE Magazine issues focusing on JFK and the Kennedy family (and I've also saved a bunch of the cool full-page advertisements that LIFE used to run in their issues in the '50s and '60s).... http://DVP's JFK Archives / Life With John F.

Joe Bauer Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 How can anyone see how the Bobby Baker scandal just went away the minute LBJ became president and not see the corruption of LBJ himself? The serious criminal investigation of LBJ himself also disappeared. LBJ got his protege Malcolm Wallace off scot-free after Wallace was found guilty of murder with malice by a Texas jury. One of the most outrageous corruptions of justice in Texas history. Why do people even try to portray LBJ as anything but a totally corrupt man and politician? When there is so much factual evidence proving this? It's not even a debatable proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Didn't an issue planned for the week after the assassination about LBJ's corruption get pulled before publication because of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There it is! Knew I read it. Youse guys, y'all need to read this book, anyone who has not. Not just for this but let's say the developing at the time foundation of the author's 56 years thread. JFK to today in the media. A little more in cost than many books on the subject, some are worth it. Essential to understanding imho. Political Truth: The Media and the Assassination of President Kennedy: Joseph McBride: 9781939795618: Amazon.com: Books From page 108. "On the very day of the assassination, Johnson had been in a state of anxiety because the scandal over his finances was about to break. Prodded by Robert Kennedy and others who wanted Johnson off the ticket in 1964, Life had a task force of nine reporters meeting with the magazines' managing editor at that very moment in New York discussing a blockbuster expose' series on "Lyndon Johnson's Money" that might have began running in the November 29 issue. . . . The scandal was breaking fast . . . , but news of the assassination caused the meeting to be abruptly terminated, and the expose' did not run," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Gram Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I just saw a copy of this Life issue in an antique/thrift store last weekend. They had a ton of issues from ‘63 and ‘64 but none of the JFKA ones unfortunately. I did score a first edition hardcover of Six Seconds in Dallas for 10 bucks though.

(pg.36) I don't understand Charles. Naming a child after oneself is a common practice, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
