A couple of things in the article are off the mark, most are straight on target and a lot more names could now be added, but were not know to her at the time.
Thanks for that Pete. Yes, I'm inclined to agree that they were not per se behind JFK, but formed part of the nexus of the far right who were. Even so the connections are quite startling aren't they - which goes to show, I suppose, quite how pro-Nazi many parts of the US business and political elite were before, during and after WWII. The word sympatico spring to mind.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
