In the best tradition of KennedysAndKing, reader Wayne Stewart read Charlotte Alter’s Time Magazine article and saw the corresponding TV spot. He replied to her with a letter, which we publish here. We hope it inspires others to do the same.
Dr. Aldo Mariotto reviews Vincent Bugliosi’s chapter on President Kennedy’s autopsy in Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy and determines that Bugliosi is thoroughly unconvincing in his prejudicial consideration of the myriad problems with the botched examination.
Jeff Carter examines John Nichols’ new book, The Fight For The Soul of the Democratic Party, in light of Donald Gibson’s ground-breaking book, Battling Wall Street: The Kennedy Presidency, on the Kennedy administration and its New Deal/progressive concepts. Carter compares how both Wallace and Kennedy publicly faced their critics in the media with respect to these progressive policies.
After engaging with Matt Stevenson of CounterPunch in the past by countering his Vietnam myths, Jim DiEugenio now confronts a recent article of his referencing Mafia involvement in the election of 1960 and uses the opportunity to expose the lies from the underlying source, Double Cross.
Paul Bleau reviews Gary Hill’s new book, The Other Oswald: A Wilderness of Mirrors, and assesses the new evidence that suggests Robert Webster and Lee Harvey Oswald both had links to the MKULTRA mind control program. As Gary reveals his evaluation of the JFK assassination after more than 50 years of research, Paul breaks down the good and the bad in his overall case.
Since Bob Dylan used the same title for his new song on the JFK assassination as the Stanley Marks’ 1967 book, Murder Most Foul!, Rob Couteau reviews this little known and hard to find book and surveys the life and work of its author.
Jim DiEugenio assesses the historical accuracy of James Patterson and Cynthia Fagen’s The House of Kennedy and discovers the shoddy research and tabloid style of the book make it unfit for reading. Their idea is to present the Kennedy clan as a bunch of useless wastrels, whose two most prominent political representatives were murdered by lone nuts. Therefore, their implication is that these murders have no political or historic importance.
Shaw's book is largely a combination of recycling Kilgallen’s biographical material, his past writing about Melvin Belli, and trying to sell the reader on his remarkably unconvincing ideas about a Mob hit on JFK.
“A balanced, engaging, fascinating look at the slimy underbelly of the American power structure and the hired guns of the media who cover up for them,” writes Michael Le Flem.

Gayle Nix Jackson's 2017 collection of investigative vignettes surrounding the assassination of JFK provides both new evidence for researchers and presents many old facts in a new light.
From Michael's conclusion: Ganis’ book is an uncomfortable, freewheeling careen down strange dead-end tracks, with unannounced detours through cold dark streets full of faceless characters, and later, journeys through mirror-filled fun houses of speculation, with a final twist and turn that spits you out right over Niagara Falls, barrel and all.
