diary search e.g. the
sketchy one in the book Katherine the Great. But the point is
clear that someone - perhaps more than one - is lying. The
versions are not reconcilable. And they can't be chalked up to
memory lapses, not for such an unusual, even singular event. It
is striking that even the time frame and principals involved
change between versions. Concerning the former, if the call from
the Truitts came in the night of Mary's death, why wait five days
to search for the diary? About the latter, either all the people
who say they were there were not, or are lying about the presence
of others. Rosenbaum got interviews with some of the principals,
Angleton, Bradlee, and others who gave him bits of information
(Cord Meyer would seem to be a source). Yet in his detailed
account he can, with a straight face, write that the bonds among
those involved in the search were so strong that years later,
some of them attended a seance to attempt to establish contact
with Mary's departed spirit. Can anyone imagine Angleton or
Bradlee sitting through a seance? (I could imagine Angleton
arranging a fake one.)
That Rosenbaum can unabashedly write such a thing tells us a g

their morality.

In other words, as far as Exner and he are concerned, there is
little difference between the Kennedys, Sam Giancana, and Johnny
Roselli.

Judith Exner: My Story

The book itself is more of the same. The aim is to make Exner as
attractive as possible; more personally attractive than those
around her, especially Kennedy, his clan, and circle. Giancana
and Roselli are just your average Italian-American good guys. To
Exner, they might as well have owned Domino's Pizza. And Demaris
places her frankness beyond question. She says that she will tell
the truth, even about people and events she doesn't care to. It
is her vow to tell the whole story. Exner inherited a lot of
money from her grandmother (in the twenty year adult span of the
book, she only mentions one job of a few weeks duration). In her
early years she gravitated toward the Hollywood acting colony,
since her sister and first husband were thespians. She fell in
with the California-Malibu jet set: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra,
Sammy Davis et. al. She says she prefers the company of men over
women and her book shows it. She is flying from one to another so
often that, at times it is hard to keep track of where she is:
Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Miami, Chicago, Washington etc. She
met JFK through Sinatra. Kennedy immediately fell for her.

According to Exner, it was not just physical. Kennedy became a
dopey mooner in her hands. He talked of leaving his wife for her.
At times the pressures of his life got so intense he wanted to
escape with her to a deserted island. Since he can't bear to lose
her, whenever there is friction in the relationship, Kennedy
pours on the charm to smooth it out. Even when Hoover confronts
him with the Exner-Giancana association, Kennedy insists on
seeing her. At one time, he asks her to board Air Force One with
him. She won't because she wants to spare Jackie's dignity.

There is one scene in the book that caps her a

Giancana, the Director had discovered that an acquaintance of his
- Campbell - had called Kennedy at the White House on numerous
occasions. Once Kennedy was told of this, the calls to the White
House stopped. Campbell's name was included in the first draft of
the report. But in deference to her privacy and the fact that she
denied ever communicating any messages between the two, the
committee - by a unanimous vote - did not name her in the final
draft. She was referred to there as a "close friend." Some
staffers, perhaps the CIA plants to which Marchetti referred,
leaked her name to the Washington Post. Significantly, four days
before the final report was issued, the Post printed her name in
an article about her. This did the trick. The Times and Post used
this to weaken the impact of Church's report. No less than two
dozen stories were printed in those two newspapers about Exner.

Altogether, those two establishment bastions kept her name in the
papers for six months. William Safire of the New York Times, a
former Nixon speechwriter, screamed there could be no "whitewash"
of this matter and made it his personal agenda to use Exner as
JFK's connection to the plots. He himself wrote five columns on
the subject. Time magazine did a feature on her. New

Kennedy, they actually provide a
motive for the CIA to get rid of him, which is probably why the
media ignored them.

The fact that Kennedy had clean hands was a bitter pill to
swallow. The establishment organized a furious counterattack.

Frank Church was accused of being a partisan. The Democrats were
charged with "protecting" the Kennedys. There was an exchange of
letters in the press between David Eisenhower and one of Bobby
Kennedy's sons over the issue. Finally, a solution appeared. Her
name was Judith Campbell Exner.

All of this essential background is usually left out of any
discussion of the following. It can't be. As we shall see, in
many ways it is crucial to an understanding of some events that -
without this precis - seem to take place in a vacuum: motiveless,
random, out of place; yet in Exner's case, recurring at regular
intervals. As we shall see the promulgators of the following, are
very aware of the results of the Church Committee.

Exner To The Rescue

The committee had found that Hoover had a meeting with President
Kennedy on March 22, 1962. Through his investigation of Sam
Giancana, the Director had discovered that an acquaintance of his
- Campbell - had called

2003, which "Welcomes the establishment of the" U.S. puppet-council in
Iraq under Chicago's pro-Israeli Straussian Neo-Con CIA asset Chalabi,
and established the so-called United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq
(UNAMI), whose headquarters in Baghdad was promptly car-bombed five days
later.50 Security Council Resolutions 1441 (2002), 1472 (2003), and 1500

government.51 Corrupting and corroding world order wherever it goes.
Throughout this sordid affair, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan
basically operated as an errand-boy for the United States government
despite the requirements of Chapter XV of the U.N. Charter establishing
the U.N. Secretariat as one of the six independent organs of the United
Nations Organization, and in particular, of Charter article 100,
paragraph 1 mandating the absolute independence of the Secretary General
and the U.N. Secretariat from taking instructions by any U.
