Like Michael Dukakis, who was defeated by an ex-footballer after his first term as Governor of Massachusetts, Clinton set about recasting his political persona. But where Dukakis was given a light cosmetic coating, Clinton returned to his most authentic self -- the gregarious schmoozer and good ole boy.

Even the black eye of the Bay of Pigs fiasco could be attributed to Kennedy's failure of nerve rather than to the Harvard and Yale ole boys who drew up the plans. From almost the very beginning, the CIA has been a focus of Kennedy- assassinati on conspiracy theories (bitterness by some agents over Kennedy's Bay of Pigs "betrayal" was an obvious motive).
