Thanks for that information. I also thought of the Bay of Pigs fiasco and his willingness to open himself to extortion. President Kennedy was a politician, not a saint.
I was part of the infatuation crowd. I was 16 when he was shot and in catholic schools. The priest were all Irish, my mother had a crush on him nd well the adorations was everywhere.
I learned a lot as i aged and the stories came out and I looked at marylyn Monroe’s death and judith exner and all of that. and the Warren report was not our finest hour no matter who you believe did it.
About that time, I had a dose of reality and what do they say, young and idealistic, old and practical.
