Unfortunately, Lasky lacks the balanced perspective to shed much light on such complex topics. 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.

As a religious man, Jimmy Carter may not like Daley's purported power to make voters rise from the dead on Election Day, but as a politician, he may figure that a spare miracle might come in handy if he needs to be "born again...
