  • A Dark Corner of Camelot
    A dark corner of Camelot 50 years after President Kennedy asked his brother Robert to oust Castro, RFK’s files at the JFK Library remain in family control, largely out of view By Bryan Bender Globe Staff / January 23, 2011 WASHINGTON — Stacked in a vault at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Dorchester, individually sealed and labeled, are 54 crates of records so closely guarded that even the library director is prohibited from taking a peek. And yet, archivists contend, the trove contains some of the most important records of Cold War history: diaries, notes, phone logs, messages, trip files, and other documents from Robert F. Kennedy’s service as US attorney general, including details about his roles in the Cuban missile crisis and as coordinator of covert efforts to overthrow or assassinate Fidel Castro. A half-century after those critical events, a behind-the-scenes tussle continues over the Kennedy family’s refusal to grant permission for researchers to freely review them. The disagreement lingers even as the JFK Library this month celebrated the 50th anniversary of John Kennedy’s inauguration by providing “unprecedented’’ access to thousands of records of his presidency. “The RFK papers are among the most valuable, untapped archival resources of foreign policy and domestic history left to be excavated,’’ said Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at George Washington University’s National Security Archive, who has been rebuffed several times in his attempts to gain access to the papers. “This history is immediately relevant to the ongoing debate over US policy toward Cuba,’’ he added.

The body was discovered by volunteer searchers in an area just off a dirt road near Plymouth Street, close to the Halifax line, police said. The body had been under dirt and vegetation but heavy rain yesterday had removed some of the covering. ‘‘It was obviously an attempt to hide the body,’’ Plymouth County District Attorney Michael Sullivan said last night at a news conference. Sullivan said the body has not been positively identified as Gosule but evidence at the scene suggests ‘‘there is no GLOBE STAFF PHOTO / BILL GREENE reason to believe it’s anyone but Melissa.’’ State Police divers began their job as part of search and recovery efforts yesterday in waters 2 miles south of Gay Head. Michael Gentile, 31, ofFalmouth, a stranger to Gosule who allegedly gave her a ride on the night she disappeared, has been charged with kidnapping her.

    ARAB TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021 INTERNATIONAL 6 Weather ‘At least one dead’ Ida traps Louisianans, leaves grid in disarray NEW ORLEANS, Aug 30, (AP): Rescue work- ers set out in hundreds of boats and helicopters to reach people trapped by fl oodwaters and utility crews mobilized Monday after a furious Hurricane Ida swamped the Louisiana coast and shattered a large swath of the state’s electrical grid in the sweltering, late-summer heat. One of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. mainland weakened into a tropical storm overnight as it pushed in- land over Mississippi with torrential rain and shrieking winds, its danger far from over. Ida was blamed for at least one death - someone hit by a falling tree outside Baton Rouge - but with many roads impassable and cellphone service knocked out in places, the full extent Edwards of its fury was still coming into focus. All of New Orleans lost power right around sunset Sunday as the hurricane blew ashore on the 16th anniversary of Katrina, leading to an uneasy night of pouring rain and howling wind. The weather died down shortly before dawn, and people began carefully walking around neigh- borhoods with fl ashlights, dodging downed light poles, pieces of roofs and branches. “I had a long miserable night,” said Chris At- kins, who was in his New Orleans home when he heard a “kaboom” and all the sheetrock in the liv- Traffi c diverts around downed power lines Monday, Aug 30, 2021, in Metairie, La.

In this evocative and affectionate memoir, Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, the last surviving child of Joe and Rose Kennedy, offers an intimate and illuminating look at a time long ago when she and her siblings, guided by their parents, laughed and learned a great deal under one roof. Prompted by interesting tidbits in the newspaper, Rose and Joe Kennedy would pose questions to their nine children at the dinner table. "Where could Amelia Earhart have gone?" "How would you address this horrible drought?" "What would you do about the troop movements in Europe?" It was a nightly custom that helped shape the Kennedys into who they would become.
