Director Sean Stone and producer Rob Wilson bring us an interesting, compelling and well made film on the career of Senator Robert Kennedy, his assassination, and his enduring legacy.
Did the LAPD invite the CIA into their RFK assassination investigation, or did the CIA push their way in? New documents definitively answer that question.
A new film on the RFK case is now available. It was made by Rob Wilson, Sean Stone and Oliver Stone, and is titled Legacy. Three of the main interview subjects are Lisa Pease, Dick Russell and Robert Kennedy, Jr.
Monika Wiesak has followed up her fine volume on the presidency of John F. Kennedy with a book about JFK's murder. But it also includes a look at the RFK case and a glimpse into the psyche of John Kennedy Jr.
Jim DiEugenio exposes the myriad problems of Rick Perlstein's writings on both the presidency of John Kennedy and his assassination. He got it wrong in the beginning and he has gotten worse since.
During his presidency, JFK proposed campaign finance laws that, as Monika Wiesak shows, would likely have helped to limit the effect of big money in American elections.
David Talbot pays tribute to Walinsky.
In part 2, DiEugenio specifically addresses both films of the Oates’ novel, the CBS version and especially Brad Pitt’s 2022 production. Both are worthless, especially Pitt’s, but in examining them the author reveals something sick about a culture that forces complex and sympathetic people into exploitative piles of junk.
Jim DiEugenio analyzes the persons—Jeanne Carmen and Fred Otash—and books—by Tony Summers and Robert Slatzer—involved in the descending landmarks that resulted in Joyce Carol Oates’ pulp novel about Marilyn Monroe, Blonde.
