45 Years Ago Mankind Chose to Hope
FORTY-FIVE years ago this week, John Glenn became the first U.S.
astronaut to orbit Earth. I remember it vividly. Glenn was a
thoroughly professional test pilot, but he was also an ecstatic
human being broadcasting live to the whole world. He was utterly
overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the vibrant earth seen against
the blackness of space.
Glenn was in orbit at the behest of U.S. President John F. Kennedy,
who had declared to Congress in May 1961, that "this nation should
commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of
landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth."
And that, too, was an electrifying moment. Going to the moon! And
right now, in this decade! Seven months after Glenn’s jubilant
flight, Kennedy spoke again. "We choose to go to the moon in this
decade," said Kennedy, "and do the other things, not because they
are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve
to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills." There
it is, the thing that made Kennedy so special. For all his faults
and misjudgments — the philandering, the Bay of Pigs, the
initiation of the Vietnamese tragedy — Kennedy was an inspiring
optimist, an enthusiast about the future, an ardent believer in the
endless possibilities of human life.

Jackie's Letter to Joan Kennedy
Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy advised her sister-in-law,
Joan, to stop being a doormat for her philandering hubby, Ted
Kennedy - and if he didn’t shape up, to move out, according to
letters retrieved from the trash at Joan’s Hyannisport home and
later abandoned in a storage facility on Cape Cod.
“This is the 20th century - not the 19th - where the little woman
stayed home on a pedestal with the kids and her rosary,” Jackie
wrote in an undated four-page note to the senator’s wife and
miserable mother of three. “Your life matters - as much as him -
you love him - but you can’t destroy yourself.”
The first letter, penned on white-lined notebook paper in Jackie’s
distinctive hand, advises Joan not stand in the shadows while Ted
cheats on her with girls with cutesy nicknames.
“Men under pressure have to let off steam sometimes - that’s why
even the Catholic Church has carnival & Mardi Gras,” she wrote.
“But having your own little black phone . . . so that you can talk
to Mootsie or Pootsie every night - right in the house with his
wife & children - and bringing them there when you’re away. What
kind of woman, but a sap or a slave, can stand that & still be a
loving wife & care about him & work like a dog for him campaigning?
It is so old-fashioned - probably got it from his father.”
As it turns out, of course, Joan and Ted Kennedy, who were married
in 1958, divorced in 1982. Jackie, apparently seeing the writing on
the wall, told Joan to make a life outside the Kennedy circle, to
“take vacations with your friends - not the family.”

Video Uncovered In East Texas After 43 Years
New video has be uncovered of President John F. Kennedy a little
over a minute before he was assassinated. KLTV 7 spoke with the
East Texas man who made the home movie and has had it stored away
for more than 43 years.
"I worked for an insurance company and the home office was at Ross
and Lamar in downtown Dallas. I took my camera down there on
purpose that day because I knew the president was coming by," says
George Jefferies.
82 year old George Jefferies of Gladewater was hoping he would get
some film of President Kennedy.
"Just made the picture as it went by," says George.
After he got the film he went back to work, not realizing President
Kennedy was shot just 90 seconds later.
The film has been in his dresser drawer and George says he never
thought of it. Until recently, when he was talking with his son-in-
law.
"I said I have that Kennedy video and he looked at it and wanted it
and I said you can have it. He took it to the museum and gave it
them," says George.
George's film is now on display at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas.

Operation Zapada: An Overview
On March 17, 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower agreed to start a
program to overthrow the Cuban Government. Run by the CIA, this
program would train, arm, and recruit Cuban exiles to participate
in an invasion of Cuba.
The planning was performed under the direction of Allen W. Dulles,
and his deputy, Richard Bissell, with the knowledge and approval of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. John F. Kennedy agreed, for security
reasons, that the fewer new faces in the government brought into
the discussions, the better kept the secret would be.
The Cuban-exiles later known as Brigade 2506 were first training in
JM WAVE, Florida. The CIA decided that it was important to get
foreign bases out of sight of the US public opinion. Guatemala
where a puppet regime was installed after the 1954 CIA organized
coup, popped up on the maps quickly.
For several months the brigade of 1400 anti-Castro Cubans was
trained in La Democracia, Huehuetenango, a plantation in Guatemala
donated by Roberto Alejos.
The base codenamed JM-TRAX was intended to train 20 radio
operators. Later facilities for 1400 trainees were built and a $1.8
million airfield was established for the supplies send from Opa-
Locka in Florida. The government of Guatemala however was getting
worried about some many armed foreigners in its country and asked
for the Cubans to be removed by the end of April.
The story also leaked to the New York Times which reported on April
7, 1961 that 5,000 to 6,000 men were recruited to liberate Cuba and
that their training was done in Florida (JM TRAX), Louisiana and
Guatemala was almost complete.
CIA liaison officer L. Fletcher Prouty delivered three ships to a
CIA agent named George H.W. Bush. The boats used in the invasion
were named Río Escondido, Houston and Barbara. The operation was
code-named "Operation Zapata".
On April 17, 1961, the invasion was carried by 1500 Cuban exiles
known as Brigade 2506. The intent of the attack was to take a
beachhead at Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs), establish a
government, and gain U.S. recognition. As the invaders began to
leave their boats, the Cuban air force attacked. They sunk the
Houston and the Río Escondido, cutting off supplies for the
invaders. Kennedy was asked for permission to use the U.S. Air
Force to destroy the Cuban army's planes. Kennedy only permitted
them to give cover to planes flown by exiles, which arrived before
the U.S. navy planes, and were consequently shot down. Exact
details on the number of dead and captured differ. According to the
Museum of Playa Girón, 1,197 exiles were captured.
Operation Zapata was a failure and became known as the "Bay of
Pigs" invasion.
In a memorandum written in June 1961, Bobby Kennedy concluded that
the mission broke down from the “incompetency” of the CIA and a
“complete lack of communication.” He also noticed that the disaster
weighed heavily on his brother, who was concerned about how it
would reflect upon his leadership and the nation’s credibility. In
an oral history interview, Bobby Kennedy recounted that he and his
brother had “been through a lot of things together, and he was more
upset [by the Bay of Pigs failure] than any other.”
A former special assistant to JFK, Arthur Schlesinger, recorded
Bobby Kennedy’s recollections of the Bay of Pigs invasion. The
recollections are included in the Robert Kennedy Oral History CD
available here.
In Closing
We would like to acknowledge the generousity of the member of the
JFK Lancer forum who offered prayers and financial support to Gwyn
Willis, a 14 year old cancer vicitm.
Here is her mother, Nona's last post:
Hi everyone!...Bless all of you for your prayers and help! We just
got back from Anchorage last night through ferocious winds that
prevented us from landing on our first try home...3 flights
cancelled before we finally made it and it was frightening!!! Gwyn
is doing fantastic, mentally as well as physically...I know having
the family there for her surgery gave her so much strength! We
still don't know if we will be getting the radiation treatments in
Anchorage or Seattle, but either way it will be hard financially as
well as emotionally...I can thank you all enough!!!! I'll stay in
