Nelson's LBJ Mastermind book

[Jack White]

Hello Magda,

First allow me to say how much I appreciate the quotations you chose as your signature.

With regard to Madeleine Brown's story, I believe that if I knew nothing beyond her public identification of Sam Rayburn as one of LBJ's co-conspirators, I would conclude that she was probably not being truthful and that she was definitely not very well informed about contemporary history.

No one in a position of influence or authority who may have whispered something to her as a taste of what was to come could have made such an error.

Rayburn was certainly old and probably fuzzy during President Kennedy's first year in office. I don't think it's plausible that anyone would concoct such an absurd revelation as that which she promoted (briefly), unless they simply didn't know what they were talking about.

I'm new here and still enjoying and reviewing the mountains of interesting material.

Thank you for allowing me to participate.

I am a strong supporter of the basics of Madeleine's story. I talked
with her dozens of times and found her quite consistent and believable.

Jack
