(76,733 posts)in American history. I tend to be less interested in the "who?" and "how/," than the "why?" And when one focuses more on the "why," and looks at it in the larger context of political history -- rather than simply the American experience -- it provides a view that I consider to be of value.
It's important to note that Mr. Bugliosi, after retiring as DA, did work on a civil case that indicated RFK was the victim of a conspiracy. I've never heard Vince address his thinking on the MLK killing. But it would be interesting to hear.
A few years back, one of my favorite uncles became very sick, due to an infection he "caught" while in a good hospital, for minor surgery. He was a university professor -- science -- who got a national award from President Carter. Anyhow, one of his daughters came up to me after his funeral, and said that she wanted to share his "last words" with me.
She was with him in the hours before and while he passed. He was coherent. He had no fear of death, and was always trying to get his family to relax and accept it. So, he took her hand, looked her in the eye and said, "At least I'll find out who really killed JFK now," and died. She said that she knew then that she had to share that with me. Ha! These darned Irishmen.
