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.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
