...first page of his new book, the ninth he has written. Once again we encounter the continual setting up of straw men, the self-righteous refusal to take (or in this case recommend) the easy and popular course, even -- Lord help us! -- the incidentally-I-have-negotiated- with-Khrushchev bit.

In retrospect, J.F.K. resembles Marrs' Galahad less than a gang leader like The Godfather's Michael Corleone -- the well- meaning son of a shadowy godfather (Joe Kennedy, with his bootlegging connections to the Mob), who can't escape his father's legacy...

...damage his standing with the conservative wing. And when demonstrators call for "Gorbachev on trial!," this is also a victory for him. He was the first Russian ruler to allow himself to be mocked. Why was there never a demonstration calling for trials of Stalin and Khrushchev and Brezhnev in their lifetimes...
