Barr and I were best friends from Jr. High through high school. Then we lost touch when I went out of state to college.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Back in '63, I think he would've been still in law school, so he couldn't be expected to have first hand knowledge of any plot. But maybe he learned something later that gave rise to suspicions. I've ordered the book.

McClellan's bio said he represented LBJ interests from 66-71. Incidentally, Scott McClellan (Ari's replacement) is his son.

On one of last night's History Channel episodes, it was said that back in those days at some point, Barr McC. was working for the law firm that LBJ used. Barr heard a lot about the earlier history of Johnson and his cronies, his "fixers", those who cleared the way for him in his rise. He learned about some deaths that seem to have been caused by some of this crowd.

Sounds like Barr learned a lot. I just ordered the book too. (Somebody earlier in the thread made reference to Barr drinking a lot. Well, I think I would too if I had heard some of this stuff and knew even a little of this first hand...)
