how they tried to kill the president first in Chicago, then in Tampa, Fla., and later in Dallas, where they ultimately succeededI heard that reported on Coast to Coast by a very credible guy a few months ago. Dallas was not the first attempt.

I'm not sure that they want to be referring to Rosselli as the "protagonist" of the story. Unless I'm wrong, and I often am, the protagonist is, in literary usage, the hero
To: JR0tten
Well Attorney General Bobby Kennedy did go after the criminals that were enemies of the criminals on the side of his father.

Ya but ... why would the Mafia want to ice a president? Short answer is because he was bought and paid for but was not holding up his end of his father's deal. The 1960 election was a case study in massive election fraud arranged for by JFK's daddy Joe to ensure JFK's election. The various elections rigged were conducted by the Mafia or their close associates, most notably in Chicago.
The deal he was not holding up his end on had to do with restraining his brother's (Robert, the attorney general) pursuit of organized crime and mob influence in the unions.
Lots of reference material out there on this -- seek and ye shall find or, in modern parlance, Google and spend your day lost in the hits.

"... Discovery will offer us a few startling realities about how the Secret Service destroyed crucial files covering the Tampa and Chicago attempts, and how there are still "well over 1 million CIA records" about the assassination that remain secret to this day. ..."
By these lights, it is amazing just how common this practice is.

They were doing a favor, and, they had a gripe of their own.

And Jack Ruby was the button man for the Chicago mob who silenced the original shooter? Or is that too pat?

1. The main character in a drama or other literary work.
2. In ancient Greek drama, the first actor to engage in dialogue with the chorus, in later dramas playing the main character and some minor characters as well.
3. A leading or principal figure, the leader of a cause; a champion.

The protagonist is the main or most important character. It need not be a hero. It comes from the Greek word protagônistçs, from agônistes, competitor or contestant, from agôn, contest (the word agony comes from the same source). In classical Greek drama, the protagonist was the first character to interact with the chorus. In modern usage, there may be multiple protagonists, meaning multiple main characters, but they need not be heroic; they can be anti-heroes or whatever.

Another good book that I imagine would dove-tail with this one is
Double CrossIt doesn't get into the Kennedy assasination or Marilyn Monroe's murder until well into the book, but it's still interesting from start to finish.

Yep........ by jove you've got it (jmo). Also Kennedy was blowing off the Vietnam "involvement" and the Joint Chiefs were not too thrilled. Then there was the CIA that JFK wanted to reorganize.
****
Then there was:
"Most people know that the FEDERAL Reserve bank is creating the US dollars. But the truth is that the Federal Reserve is not federal at all, but owned by twelve super-wealthy International Banking families, such as the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. This setup is against the US Constitution, where the government is supposed to create our money (the 16th Amendment), which should be backed up by gold and silver."
"What JFK did was to create interest-free government money, backed up by the silver reserve, contrary to the Federal Reserve money, which is not backed up by anything as we will see. He wanted to pay off the US debt this way. He obviously knew the secret about the Federal Reserve, and decided to follow the Constitution. Of course, this was a very dangerous thing to do, because if he was allowed to continue, it could put the International bankers out of business in the long run. So this was even more serious than to reorganize the CIA. Interestingly, soon after the assassination the interest-free money was taken out of circulation."
