Dead president’s corpse in the driver’s car. The engine runs on glue and tar�
There is the system and there are those who serve the system. There are tomcats and there are cat’s paws.
Secret services saw in John Kennedy a real threat to their holding sway over the entire state:
There is a secret world within the world� Clandestine movers and shakers live among us but they abide in the invisible world of their own.
Let’s devote our lives to understanding this moment, separating the elements of each crowded second.

“It’s not just Kennedy himself. He thinks he can make us a different kind of society. He’s trying to engineer a shift. We’re not smart enough for him� Do you know what charisma means to me?

Now it’s the government that has a lock on the secrets that matter. All the danger is in the White House, from nuclear weapons on down.�
