i agree.
but we're looking at it in hindsight.
joe invested heavily in manipulating the media, so the truth may never be known.
do me a favor, go to the library and check out this book and read it, and let me know what you think:
Joseph P. Kennedy : The Mogul, the Mob, the Statesman, and the Making of an American Myth
by Ted Schwarz (Hardcover - September 5, 2003)
I will try to do it, but it just doesn't pass the smell test. Old Joe was probably just trying to pacify an inconvenience, not fully capable. Now they do it with drugs. Then they did it with a sledgehammer. There may be some merit in the courts reviewing the drugs in this day and age. Cheap pacifiers may not be moral.
