Re “Maybe a Bit of Travel to Cure the Nein Blues,” Commentary, Feb. 24:
Who is Theodore Sorensen to pontificate? The John F. Kennedy industrial-strength propaganda machine rolls on: the Bay of Pigs, the White House-ordered assassination of South Vietnam’s president and the introduction of American “advisors” there, spying on and illegally wiretapping Martin Luther King Jr.’s telephones, all under Kennedy’s stewardship. (Does the buck ever stop anywhere near JFK?)
And Sorensen was a prominent Kennedy advisor through it all. President Bush a “Lone Ranger”? Perspective and context are wonderful things. Sorensen ought to try them one day.
