I find this really interesting material. There was no way JFK was going to make it out of 1963. And they did not want to kill him in a campaign year.

A small quibble: Barry Sheppard, as described in the article was never the national leader of the SWP. He was part of what might be called the "inner circle", officially called the Political Committee. The "leader" (I refer to him as Jackie Gleason used to say as the "Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler) then and still today was and remains Jack Barnes. Sheppard functioned at times as a hatchet man for Barnes and eventually was driven out as were many others during a convulsive shift in the party's identity and politics. It has become what many regard as a cult with perhaps 200 members, and that's being generous. Too bad.:
