Postscript:
The most significant thing about "The Parts Left Out of the
Kennedy Book" was its widespread acceptance--if only for a moment--by
intelligent, literate people, from an ACLU official to a Peabody Award-
winning journalist to members of the intelligence community who knew
that sort of thing actually does go on. Daniel Ellsberg said, "Maybe it was
just because I wanted to believe it so badly."

One caller claimed that he could determine, by feeding the article
into a computer, whether Manchester had written the portions I published.
Several individuals queried that final arbiter of truth, the Playboy Adviser.

How could William Manchester leave something out of his book that was
itself a report of something that he' d left out of his book? Marcus
deduced that The Realist must have been given the excerpts by a CIA
operative in order to discredit valid dissent on the assassination.
