Today I listened to a podcast from Fresh Air podcast of David Talbot discussing new theories of the Kennedy Assassination. I love hearing things related to what I am currently studying or reading, in this case, The Best and the Brightest. I didn't expect it, but it gave me another new reference point to put this book in perspective. Much of Talbot's talk revolved around supicions that RFK had about who killed his brother. While publicly backing the Warren Commision report, he privately felt that certain CIA interests were behind, or at least involved in the assassination.
While I can't vouch for the accuracy of his reporting, I do want to look further into it and if it has not been discredited, I may move to his book next while Halberstam's points are fresh in my mind. It sounded like RFK was positive of a conspiracy very early on. I don't know how long he harbored these thoughts, or if he ever backed off of them.
