Hi BentNotTwisted,
Interesting point on the Jackie Bouvier / Ari Onassis thing.
Maybe we've all been looking at too big a picture with the Mafia, the Russians, J.Edgar Hoover, Etc...
Who gains most imediately on JKF's death?
Here's a scenario...
Jackie Bouvier, high class WASP marries JFK, High class WASP & he becomes president. A happy faithful marriage ensues, except we all know that JFK was anything BUT faithful. Jackie is alone, ignored and trapped in her marriage. She can't divorce him & he's ignoring her & shagging anything with a skirt & a pulse. She meets Onassis, who's attentive and rich & would marry her if she were free.
The words "'Til Death do you part" starts to loom large.
They argue in the car & she shoots him (The loving wife of the president wouldn't be searched). Initially the only thing the Secret Service are aware of is shots fired & dead President so the car takes off.
Once the dust settles can Jackie be prosecuted? No. The trial would blow apart both the presidency AND the upper reaches of American Society.
Jackie disappears into obscurity, marries her millionaire and the rest, as they say, is history.
Just a thought,
Mike.
