About
Though I am now a lawyer and political activist, my main interest in my teenage years was bodybuilding. The old magazines bring back memories of those innocent times of the early and mid 60s: good food, hard training, and hope for the future.

Stranger in a Strange Land: Still relevant after 58 years
This was the science fiction novel that also helped define the 60's generation. Considering that it was written in 1961, it should a remarkable depth. The uncut version shows what the human imagination can create in the world of fiction. This novel also has implications for social justice

What if JFK had been the victim of a right wing plot
1 of 2 found this helpful This is a gripping and somewhat realistic story of what it indeed might have been like if President Kennedy had actually been assassinated as a consequence of a homegrown American right wing conspiracy, put together by some very powerful but shadowy conservative extremists.
The film's title "Executive Action," is supposedly derived from the phrase used by the CIA in the 1950s to describe its program of assassinations.
Certainly, if a "vast right wing conspiracy," to use Hillary Clinton's phrase, had been the culprit in November of 1963, it could have very well gone down as portrayed in this film. Burt Lancaster, who was a very liberal Hollwywood star turns in a convincing performance as one of the well-heeled conspirators, as does Will Greer.
Greer must have also had a particularly strong motive for making the American far right look as evil as possible, as he had been historically involved in leftist politics and was a victim of the infamous blacklist of Hollywood personnel, as a consequence of his refusal to testify before the ominous House Un Amnerican Activities Committee.
Another major actor in this film, was also a known liberal Democrat. Robert Ryan, who died a few months before the flim's release, was active in the civil rights movement and in the peace movement.
I originally saw this movie at the famous Groman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, when it was released, just about ten years after the actual assassination. I was in my first semester of law school at the time and was trying to grapple with how we can ascertain what is and what is not true when dealing with the claims of government.
One does not have to be a conspiracy theorist to be entrhalled by this film. It certainly helps to be interested in the political hsitory of the 1960s, but this is not essential to enjoying the movie.
35 years, or so, after its release, I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in what might have truly happened on November 22, 1963, the day that America's Camelot ended, the day that America's optimistic innocence was torn from our grasp.
