The author made a mint out of pasting together every available bit of anti-Kennedy rumor, gossip, innuendo and fact to produce his JFK: The Man and the Myth, which sold 220,000 copies in hardback.

The voices of hatred have not all been stilled. But they have been muted; when they speak at all, it is in whispers and innuendo, rather than the full-throated bigotry of earlier times.
