Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Charles Drago]

At what point did EVIDENCE of a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, as Albert has called it, become evidence of the concerns weighing heavy on his mind when he resigned?? For that is all there is in this QUOTE Mark... When WAS this breakdown? Was there actually a "breakdown" in the clinical sense?

Question 1: Who cares and why do you need to know.

Question 2: Who cares and why do you need to know.

Question 3: I don't know.

BG's mental state was precarious by mid-1963.

Can we move on?

No, we can't.

"Albert" has presented as fact that BG's (I always think Benny Goodman ... ) breakdown -- not exactly a precise term, but we're talking "Albert" here -- was caused by the Kennedy problem.

"He" offers no documentation for this claim whatsoever.

"Albert" cannot be taken at "his" word.

Where is the evidence for "Albert's" claim?

Not for the "breakdown" (whatever "Albert" means by that term; "going banana bug-nuts" would be just as valid).

Rather, for the "breakdown's" cause.
