Bobby Kennedy "personally managed" Castro hit attempt

These revelations will of course revitalize conspiracy theorists bolstering the notion that the JFK hit was "payback".

What are the chances of such a thing happening in the other direction today? Slim? None? Think about this -- failing to exploit this may have been enough to allow Carter to win.
