Jim Garrison Nominated for "Profile in Courage Award"
#18
The important thing about Garrison in this regard is that he actually lost the two jobs he always wanted over this case.

First, back in the fifties he told a friend he wanted to be DA some day.

THen in the sixties, he told a writer his ultimate ambition was to be a senator.

Well, because he was the only DA to ever bring a case about JFK's murder in court, he lost the first position, and any hope of the second.

One definition of the heroic is to sacrifice your own personal well being for a cause.
