As said above I have nothing to say.
I’m also not really going to comment except to say I don’t really have a comment that I would care to state in public.
My mama taught me not to speak ill of the dead, so.....

Mary Pinchot Meyer?
She was divorced from a CIA biggie, and was the sister of a Bradlee wife, Antoinette.
So, along with her leftist views, psychedelic drug use, and affair with JFK, *anybody* could have had it out for her - the ex, the CIA, her supplier, old man Joe, the other Kennedy bros., LBJ, maybe she didn’t cooperate with the other side, or just the unfortunate victim of a mugger.
Not every death is a conspiracy. Whatshername, the Rep. Condit’s mistress. Shandra Levy? Condit’s behavior made him look involved, but didn’t it turn out to be an illegal alien?
So this isn’t the basketball player who ran for Prez a few years back?

Then Wal-Mart came along and you know the rest of the story.
we had Gibson’s stores
I should have been more careful and not tried to recall my post from memory. You are right: Meyer was Bradlee’s sister-in-law not sister. She was murdered on a tow path for the C&O canal not in her Georgetown apartment.
I think her husband Cord, many years later, said it was the CIA who did her in. They tried to pin the murder on a black guy but it didn’t stick. Same with Chandra Levy. Not clear that the person they claimed killed Chandra really was the killer.
I should have added, Meyer kept a diary. IIRC when her sister and Ben went to retrieve her diary they found someone from the CIA in her apartment or maybe it was her studio.

Thank you! I need to be reminded of this sometimes. :0)
This is a person who believed he was never wrong.
Condit was not involved in the woman’s disappearance, but his stonewalling caused the police not to know the full story and endangered the investigation from the start. Even CA people turned against Condit.
I am surprised his knees didn’t give out first
U R BAD....
Hope he has to spend eternity bunking with Richard Nixon....
Fannie Fox was Arkansas Wilber Mills’ bimbo. He was the head of the appropriations committee. Big Dem. Got caught in the basin on the mall naked with Fox.
The Post did bury a lot of what the Kennedy’s were doing.
