DiEugenio is correct that he was "not needed"; indeed, I
imagine he would have been far happier had he not been
there at all. Having just read the complete thread, I found
it fascinating and illuminating on one of the less-explored
aspects of the assassination, namely, how Lyndon managed
to get himself on the ticket. I do not want to prejudge other
opinions, but I recommend this thread in the strongest terms:
"Did LBJ use Sexual Blackmail on JFK to get 1960 Demo VP
Spot?", http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index....17218&st=0

Robert Charles Dunne and Peter Fokkes both put grenade sized holes in Lifton and Nelson's efforts to push it through.
Amazing to me how people like Lifton and Nelson are somehow attracted to Seymour Hersh and his slimy book.
