An Oliver Stone perspective

 I just read Faith McNulty 's letter " Assassination " in the

    Providence Journal (Jan.12 ) . She sees President Clinton as the victim

    of a legal " assassination " process. And when it is all over " we'll

    probably never know " the true nature of the conspiracy against the

    modest democracy that we still have.

             My father was impressed by a mini-series that appeared on TV

    some years ago : " Captains and Kings " The theme was that a handful of

    very powerful and wealthy individuals decide -in the long run - the fate

    of nations.

          American sociologists rarely talk about the American ruling class.

    THEY were real enough to Papa Joe Kennedy. He tried to enter this circle

    without the proper credentials . He paid for the family's remarkable

    success.

             Today Patrick Kennedy is loathed by THEM . Looking at their

    murderous henchmen in the government, can the REAL THING be  far

    from consideration  ? I wonder .
