'60s Day at OccObs
OK, it's not just at OccObs since these are both national stories. But, here's a couple of oldies-but-goodies:
1) Robert McNamara. The JFK and LBJ defense secretary passed away, having lived a full nine decades plus. For those who lived through the '60s, and particularly for those who smoked pot, the man was a villain for trying to win in Vietnam. For those who came of age in the Reagan era, he was the introspective and wise old man in The Fog of War. Which, if you haven't seen, you should.
2) Jacqueline Kennedy Kennedy Onassis. I can't even. Just read the story here. Normally I assume scurrilous gossip has about a 10% chance of being accurate. But with the number of named sources this guy has, I have to think it's true. Never mind what this says about the Kennedys (nothing we didn't already know), but could you imagine the press keeping this quiet for a Republican?

Fog of War was amazing. It gives a totally new perspective on the war. What we did to Japan before the nukes was unreal. I couldn't begin to imagine how the media today would have covered that.
As for Jackie O, it shouldn't surprise any of us. She got involved with a family who made their fortune bootlegging and bought freedom for a Senator who cowardly abandoned an innocent woman after driving off a bridge.
