[…] of ’63. RR: Bobby was an election winner. PDS: Put it this way: Johnson was an election loser. And the way the American system works they don’t mind if somebody’s going to lose because they usually control the other guy too. But the Kennedys were never exactly controllable because they had so much money […]
[…] Bush, 2008, under the pseudonym Ernest Organic. It perhaps has a psychological parallel in the work of Jung, where the potentially threatening dark confusion of the unconscious mind can, if faced and accepted, rather than being repressed, become a source of strength and energy, just as the apparently dead matter in the soil becomes, […]

[…] with the dark side of American history will be missed by senior colleagues and younger protégés alike.
