This makes me ambivalent. The only media attention President Kennedy gets is meant to continue assassinating his image. Often the theme is that JFK had affairs; whatta sleaze. And that's certainly the case here. "Look, he boinked Marilyn; whatta lucky sleaze."

On the other hand these are some great photos. And his birthday is coming up--May 29.

Hard not to notice how heavy the security was around the President on this occasion.
...
I wonder if that level of security was typical.

Jim DiEugenio has a great article on all the women JFK "allegedly" bonked. He is able to dispel most of it with proof. Gotta get to work so no time to look for it now. (It's online, also in his and Lisa Pease's book The Assassinations.)
Hopefully some less busy than me can post it here.

yes older now but good articles, but imo i do admit, that he allowed the playboy to come out perhaps more often than he should have but then they did think they could do no wrong those days..imo...they had the power and such no matter in whose hands is too powerful to overcome by mere mortals, as we have seen many times down through history....., he was human after all, but the outlook of the Kennedy men on women, instilled by old Joe, was imo wrong, therefore the old sins of the father and so on...came into play as he set the example they watched and listened and learnt many a bad lesson that would plague his history as it does now......there were many woman we must admit...but if all the stories were true i doubt he'd have had time to accomplish what he did...


the articles 1 and 2 link will not copy, today..so that's that darn...b.ha it did copy sheesh...:hmmmm:

THAT'S the one. That's the article that better says what I was trying to say. Thanks Phil.

Excerpt:

"Killing off the Legacy

In 1964, author Morris Bealle, a genuine conservative and critic of the Eastern Establishment, wrote a novel called Guns of the Regressive Right, depicting how that elite group had gotten rid of Kennedy. There certainly is a lot of evidence to substantiate that claim. There were few tears shed by most rightwing groups over Kennedy’s death. Five years later, they played hardball again. King and Bobby Kennedy were shot. One would think the coup was complete. The war was over.

That would be underestimating these people. They are in it for the long haul. The power elite realizes that, in a very real and pragmatic sense, assassination isn’t enough. You have to cover it up afterwards, and then be ready to smother any legacy that might linger. The latter is quite important since assassination is futile if a man’s ideas live on through others. This is why the CIA’s Bill Harvey once contemplated getting rid of not only Castro, but his brother Raul and Che Guevara as well as part of single operation. That would have made a clean sweep of it. (In America’s case, one could argue that such an operation was conducted here, over a period of five years.)

The smothering effect afterward must hold, since the assassinated leader cannot be allowed to become a martyr or legend. To use a prominent example, in 1973, right after the CIA and ITT disposed of Salvador Allende and his Chilean government, the State Department announced (falsely) that the U. S. had nothing to do with the coup. Later on, one of the CIA agents involved in that operation stated that Allende had killed himself and his mistress in the presidential palace. This was another deception. But it did subliminally equate Allende’s demise with the death of Adolf Hitler.

The latter tactic is quite prevalent in covert operations. The use of sex as a discrediting device is often used by the CIA and its allies. As John Newman noted in Oswald and the CIA, the Agency tried to discredit its own asset June Cobb in the wake of the Kennedy assassination. It did the same to Sylvia Duran, Cuban embassy worker in Mexico City who talked to Oswald or an impersonator in 1963. In Probe (Vol. 4 No. 4, p. 9) we have seen how journalist (and CIA-applicant) Hugh Aynesworth and the New York Herald Tribune tried to smear Mark Lane with compromising photographs. If one goes to New Orleans, one will still meet those who say that Jim Garrison indicted Clay Shaw because he was himself gay and jealous of Shaw’s position in the homosexual underworld. And we all know how the FBI tried to drive King to suicide by blackmailing him with clandestinely made “sex tapes.”
