- jethomme said: Kennedy satirizes Yale: Note where Mr. Kennedy uses the word “peace” – “Now too that I am a Yale man, it is time for peace.” James W. Douglass in his book: “JFK & the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters” asserts that Kennedy was turning toward nonviolence, toward “repentance.” The US, with many Yale men positioned in gov’t was being steered into the nuclear age, the age of US imperial action & war profit. Kennedy had to be taken out.
