Kennedy was such a sleaze, that Phil Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post, warned him that he could no longer cover for him, as he was too public, and would have to report it. A few weeks later, Graham was found dead, a “suicide.” People wound up dead around JFK, ask Marilyn Monroe... if you could. TONS of people wound up dead around the Clintons. Which begs the question; why do so many people wind up dead around Democrats after they have a “disagreement” with them?
One of history’s big “what ifs.”
Phil Graham suffered from manic-depressive psychosis before his suicide. For details, read his wife Kathryn’s excellent autobiography.
Best guess is that Marilyn Monroe died from medical malpractice; an overdose of sedatives administered by enema. At the time of her death Marilyn was planning to remarry Joe DiMaggio, and was no danger to JFK or his brother.
The really interesting unsolved murder case is that of Mary Pinchot Meyer, one of JFK’s mistresses, and ex-wife of CIA official Cord Meyer. Mary was killed jogging in Washington during the summer of 1964, and immediately after her death the head of CIA counter-intelligence, James Jesus Angleton, was interrupted breaking into her house, to try to steal her diary, by Washington Post editor Benjamin Bradlee and his wife Antoinette Pinchot Bradlee, Mary’s sister. In 2001, shortly before his death, Cord Meyer was asked who he thought had killed his ex-wife, and reportedly replied “The same sons of bitches that killed John F. Kennedy.” I’ve always thought that Oswald was the lone assassin of JFK, but you can never be completely sure of anything.
