If you look, you'll see that I posted both of those articles by Mellen. I don't agree with 100% of what Joan, a friend, concludes or thinks...but I think she is a researcher not to be ignored. Her research has uncovered new things others have not found - some significant. Her writing on Garrison, who she knew fairly well, practically makes her his 'official' biographer IMHO. She is not very keen [to put it mildly] on the Kennedys as politicians. My suggestion is take what new information one can and agree to disagree on the rest. I've learned a lot from her books, lectures and research. Again, I do not agree with everything. That is true for many/most researchers. I don't find that a 'litmus test' on a person.
