The Last Time the CIA Was Unhappy with a President

There are some stories that just won’t ever go away. Mostly because the threads always seem to be unraveling and new information is always arriving. Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination are the most notable contemporary examples

Attorney, author and journalist Mark Shaw has, for years, been looking at the events and people surrounding the JFK Assassination. For him, the story itself, like the layers of an onion, keep getting peeled away, only to reveal another translucent layer.

In his new book The Reporter Who Knew Too Much: The Mysterious Death of What's My Line TV Star and Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen, he brings into bold relief, the story and the investigation of famed journalist and TV personality Dorothy Kilgallen.

Fifty years ago this week, the nation experienced one of the seminal moments of the 20th century. Along with two World Wars, the dawning of the nuclear age, and the landing of men on the moon, the assassination of JFK was one of the century’s tent poles.

As such, it never ceases to fascinate us. What other event of the 20th century still conjures up as many unanswered questions? Is there anyone who still believes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that the Warren Commission is accurate? I’d say probably the same number that believes Elvis is still alive.

Author and legal analyst Mark Shaw postulates a new theory of case. One that has as it progenitor, the callus and politically expedient actions of the Kennedy patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy. He makes his case in The Poison Patriarch: How the Betrayals of Joseph P. Kennedy Caused the Assassination of JFK.
