He basically gave the same <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=srstQVfVNEM" rel="nofollow">talk he did at a book-signing that is posted on YouTube</a>. I went mainly for the opportunity of a first-hand assessment. His was the first full-length book I’ve read on JFK’s assassination and from what I can tell he breaks new ground in tracing how the evolution of Kennedy’s thinking while in office caused him to be seen as a threat.</p> Douglass was here last Saturday to run a 3/4 day peace activism workshop at a church no more than a couple of miles from where I live.
