Book Review of Robert Caro's THE PASSAGE OF POWER

Albert Doyle Wrote:Evelyn Lincoln would have to be a pretty bold liar if she said Kennedy's talk to her on 19 Nov 1963 about replacing LBJ with Terry Sanford was so impressive she transcribed it immediately into her diary. That doesn't sound like a vengeful lie to me.


I thought they pretty much knew Johnson's henchmen killed Marshall to keep LBJ from a cotton subsidy looting scandal. Again you accuse me of loose research but these are things you can't be fuzzy on. Monoxide and 5 rifle shots pretty much backs what I'm saying doesn't it?


Spartacus:

Quote:On 22nd November, 1963, a friend of Baker's, Don B. Reynolds told B. Everett Jordan and his Senate Rules Committee that Johnson had demanded that he provided kickbacks in return for this business. This included a $585 Magnavox stereo. Reynolds also had to pay for $1,200 worth of advertising on KTBC, Johnson's television station in Austin. Reynolds had paperwork for this transaction including a delivery note that indicated the stereo had been sent to the home of Johnson.
Don B. Reynolds also told of seeing a suitcase full of money which Baker described as a "$100,000 payoff to Johnson for his role in securing the Fort Worth TFX contract". His testimony came to an end when news arrived that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated.


Al, I think the evidence has to be better. None of your statements can prove that Lyndon Johnson killed John Kennedy. Evelyn Lincoln had problems with the truth and honesty. It doesn't matter what she wrote down. JFK told his best friends, Kenny O'Donnell and Dave Powers, that he wanted LBJ on the 1964 ticket, when they confronted him about this Republican-initiated rumor.

And the Don Reynolds matter also does not prove LBJ killed John Kennedy. We have no way of knowing if Reynolds' testimony was the truth. Making allegations proves nothing. Reynolds' statement of Baker's statement is mere hearsay, and Baker was not exactly a truthful person.

On the Marshall murder, you said: [QUOTE]Monoxide and 5 rifle shots pretty much backs what I'm saying doesn't it?[QUOTE]

No, it doesn't. I thought I had recalled something about that murder which made it even more improbable and a fumble job.. I also thought it was two rifle shots, not five. I'll have to read over that old material again to refresh my memory. Again, that still does not prove that LBJ killed JFK, just like the murder of Officer Tippit does not prove that Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Kennedy. .
