... Years of Lyndon Johnson: Master of the Senate Robert Caro New York and London: Alfred Knopf, 2002, hb $35 (US) 35 (UK) (But in the UK only 22 from Amazon.com) This is the third volume in Caro's biography of LBJ. The first two volumes are wonderful pieces of work, the best biographies I have read; and in many ways this is their equal and deserves the praise it has received. Even if we ignore the story of LBJ, this contains an account of the ...

... in a one car crash in 1971, had been convicted of murder in 1951 (5) and was suspected of the murder of others involved in the Billy Sol Estes scandal in Texas in 1960-62. Estes was a con-man who had been bribing Texas politicians, including LBJ, and when his fraudulent scheme began to unravel, the federal investigator on his trail and three potential witnesses were 'suicided', apparently by Wallace. (6) In 1984 Billy Sol Estes had his lawyer contact the Federal Justice Department and offered to talk about ...

... The Mental Collapse of Lyndon Johnson D. Jablow Hershman New Jersey: Barricade, 2002, $27.95 Colin Challen MP I tend to the view, presented succinctly in Who Shot JFK?, (10) that whoever assassinated Kennedy did so with the objective of installing LBJ as President. The tantalising question that arises is: did LBJ know? This book does not answer that question, but it does address issues about LBJ's mental state which make it feasible that he could have gone along with such a plan. (11) ...

... been there waiting for someone with the patience to dig it out and assemble it. Given that the Tories have always declined to say where the money came from, it is extraordinary that their opponents never adopted some variant of LBJ's pig-fucker strategy. The story goes that LBJ was discussing how to attack an opponent in an election early in his career. The opponent was a farmer, and LBJ said, 'Let's accuse him of fucking his pigs.' 'You can't do that,' replied LBJ's advisor. 'Why not?', ...

... Israel's side in the conflict and to intimidate the Soviet navy, then extending its reach into the Mediterranean. He also provides much evidence of US/UK/Australian intelligence cooperation with the Israeli campaign and the plausible claim that the Six Day war was actively promoted by LBJ (and some in Whitehall)( [1]) as a latter day 'Suez', to finally oust Egypt's President Nasser, pile pressure on North Vietnam and, most importantly, secure Johnson's re-election. It is often thought that Johnson – consummate congressional operator ...

... a couple of the incisive brains of the CSICOP. In one A4 page, their speakers, Melanie Klein and Don Yates, as reported in the magazine, made the following errors: Called the author of Crossfire, Jim Morrison, not Jim Marrs. Claimed that LBJ and Jackie Kennedy spent the whole flight from Dallas to Washington in the plane with the dead JFK's body ('were with the body the entire trip'). This is offered as falsifying 'one theory...that a brain showing bullets from one direction was substituted ...

... many reasons, but Kennedy buffs will turn to the immediate post 22 November '63 sections looking for insights. There is only one significant revelation that I can see. At 10 in the morning on the 23rd- i.e. less than 24 hours after the shooting- LBJ and Hoover had this curious exchange. LBJ: Have you established any more about the visit to the Soviet embassy in Mexico in September? (emphasis added). Hoover: No, that's one angle that's very confusing, for this reason- we have up ...

... . (On which see the CIA memo reprinted in this issue.) The political establishment, especially the Democrats with their long history of links to organised crime, had nothing to gain from the enthusiastic "pursuit of the truth'. (This applied spectacularly to LBJ, one of the most corrupt politicians in history.) In 1963 the American public had no idea of the intimate relationship between organised crime and the funding of political parties, and Jack Ruby's mafia presence ensured the silence of the Washington political establishment. As for ...

... ill. (He is now dead.) How much of what he said should be taken seriously? (6) No-one shooting from the front is mentioned by him. He places Jack Ruby at meetings to set-up the shooting, but no evidence linking Ruby and LBJ exists. (7) Factor's 'confession' looked like more confession nonsense (8)because his account of the shooting placed him, 'Mac' Wallace and Oswald on the 6th floor of the Book Depository; and it had become an article of faith among the ...

... overthrow in the Dominican Republic in October '63 which Kennedy refused to recognise. There was a significant shift there. RR: Given the role of Johnson as the incoming President, I was wondering what you thought of the recent news of Billy Sol Estes' remarks that LBJ ordered the murder of Henry Marshall.(6) This, added to the picture painted in Robert Caro's recent biography of Johnson's early years, suggests that LBJ was certainly capable of Kennedy's murder. And the 'cui bono?' list has LBJ at the top ...
