Life Magazine (Oct 26, 1942) described her as "looking every inch the schoolgirl she is" and her greatest asset being "a manner of projecting sweet innocence without seeming too sugary".

In 1999, she was one of the 250 actresses nominated for the American Film Institute's selection of the 25 greatest female screen legends to have debuted before 1950.

May 23, 1989: William Cooper unleashes his conspiracy ridden 25-page page document The Secret Government, in which he claims that an unscrupulous group of covert CIA and other intelligence operatives actually runs the country. He says they were responsible for murdering one-time Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949 because he threatened to expose the UFO cover-up. He claims there have been at least 16 downed alien craft, 65 bodies, and one live alien retrieved between 1947 and 1952, with at least 10 more crash/retrievals during the Eisenhower years.

Cooper says aliens from a dying planet orbiting Betelgeuse landed at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, in 1954 and reached an agreement with the government. A second meeting took place with President Eisenhower at Edwards AFB, California, and signed a formal treaty with an alien ambassador, His Omnipotent Highness Krill. But, he claims, the aliens broke the treaty, abducting humans, conspiring with the Soviets, and manipulating society through secret organizations. Cooper also claims that Eisenhower had created a scientific advisory group in 1960 called the Jason Group to "discover the truth of the alien question."

Conspiracy theorist Milton William Cooper (1943-2001) is well-known to longtime UFOlogists, although he might not be so well-known among relative newcomers. His significance extends out well beyond UFOlogy, into political conspiracy culture, where his influence is still felt today, though often in a twisted mythical manner.

May 23, 2012: a shipyard worker started a fire on USS Miami (SSN-755) so he could leave work early. The Navy decided to decommission the sub after estimates for repairs reached $700 million. The Miami joined a short list of U.S. Navy vessels lost since WWII. USS Miami is one of two vessels featured in Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside a Nuclear Warship, a 1993 non-fiction book by Tom Clancy.

I have no idea what this is about or what it might even entail. So, for the curious, and the many JFK completists out there... a 2017 issue of Paranormal Underground that asks, "Is there a hollow earth/John F. Kennedy assassination connection?"


I mean...it’s got to be more plausible than all the "driver did it" nonsense, right?


This WaPo headline is incredibly misleading: LBJ not only did NOT quell conspiracy talk on the JFK assassination, he was one of the earliest proponents of conspiracy theory. Before he’d even left Dallas, Johnson was "thinking out loud" that JFK’s murder was a communist plot; months later he would be recorded downplaying the likelihood of the Warren Commission’s single-bullet theory; and before he died, Johnson told various associates that Fidel Castro was behind the assassination, due to the "Murder Inc." (assassination schemes) the CIA was running against the Cuban leader.


Note that WaPo published this piece on April Fools.

These comments to Walter Cronkite of CBS, in which Johnson spoke of possible "international connections" to the JFK assassination, were cut before broadcast, on national-security grounds. It only aired after his death.

Trump tariffs for Apple plus "recommending a straight 50% tariff" on the European Union starting June 1. I guess those iPhones are about to get mighty expensive.
