Sidetracking the discussion by judging the entire book (which I have not read)
on the basis of a single word is judging a forest by a single tree.
From the discussion, I take it that the book agrees with my long time thesis
that LBJ was the MOST ESSENTIAL participant in the plot. He was not running
the show, but eager to play his part.
However, had he not gone along, Dealey Plaza had enough guns to target
LBJ as well as JFK and JBC. He was expendable had he not agreed to play
the leading man. He was no Hamlet, soliloquizing with his conscience. He
was the King, and the play was the thing.
