I had no idea that there were tapes of Kennedy discussing Vietnam.

4. It is very satisfying to hear someone else hold this belief about Kennedy.

I am so tired of the mythology that sprung up around him. And his wife. She and Pierre Salinger concocted the illusion of "Camelot," and then sold it to the understandably grieving public, but it was still a charade. Then she contacted William Manchester to write the definitive post-JFK book, which she later tried to stop the publication of by very unseemly methods, even drafting RFK to intercede on her behalf and join her in that effort. Fortunately for posterity, their efforts fell short.

We will probably get castigated for our views, but I am glad that I am not alone in my views.

Nostalgia, like hind-sight, is 20-20, too.
