I was not a fan of Reston's BTW. He was extremely powerful and IIRC he was known as the dean of journalism; but what I remember was his vicious attacks on the emerging modern conservative movement blaming us for the "climate of hate" that was responsible for Oswald killing his good friend John F. Kennedy.
Can you source that Reston may have misinterpreted what happen at Vienna? It is just your opinion, right?
Yes. Reston has a history re: conservatism. Not a good one.
But I have no evidence of him lying re: Kennedy. But, I just consider it, unconfirmed, since it was a one one one interview with nobody else present.
Absolutely my opinion that Reston’s perception may or may not be correct. We can’t say. We have to take his word for it.
Since he hated conservatives so badly, maybe he was pissed Kennedy cut taxes, at the time.
