Great show, The Prisoner. Patrick McGoohan as Number 6 and Leo McKern as Number 2 are two of the great characters in all fiction. The show was a primer on how to break a man and how the man who refuses to break, in turn, breaks those trying to break him. There's a lesson there for Democrats.
Yuri Nosenko seems to have been a false defector sent by his KGB bosses to make clear to America that the USSR was not behind the assassination of President Kennedy. Angleton didn't like what he heard, especially after J Edgar Hoover and the FBI reported that they had heard the KGB suspected Oswald as being an American agent. So, Angleton (Helms) locked the guy up in solitary confinement for three years and dosed him with drugs until he started to froth. DUer John Simkin's Spartacus Schoolnet has great background and links.
Regarding 51 years: Kennedy did all he could in his 1,037 days in office to keep the peace and make life better for ALL Americans. Those too young to remember and those who weren't then born can be forgiven for not understanding just how different the nation has become since then.
