Reply #28: A very good book; collates the evidence in a very clear way.

A better-written book, IMO, is "Brothers", by David Talbot, founder of Salon. He examines the professional partnership between Jack and Bobby, and the relationships they each had with the CIA. It focuses a little more on Bobby; why he kept quiet about the assassination, and what prompted him to run for president earlier than he'd planned.

Talbot has an easier writing style than Douglass, and I found his book easier to read because of it, while admiring Douglass's attention to detail. Talbot gives Mafia involvement greater credit than Douglass, and his arguments are reasonable. He puts less emphasis on the "secret second state" run by the CIA, but he certainly believes they undermined JFK's presidency.

I don't believe any theory that calls for a "magic bullet".

And I believe the world would have been a better place had both Kennedys lived.
