and killing JFK woud have been a stupid thing for him to do - despite the CIA's attempts to kill him.

And supposedy Castro has some hopes of opening up a dialogue with JFK in his second term.

BTW the Bush Family, as well as the Dulles (as in Allen) Family suffered some large business losses as a result of the Cuban Revolution. There's stories of Poppy Bush working with Cuban exiles for the CIA since 1959.
