Description

Oliver Stone defends his film “You continue to misrepresent my film ‘JFK’, setting up the straw man that I implicate Lyndon Johnson in the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. That is not the case.”

TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, Ixtlan letterhead, December 1, 1995. Letter to the Editor of the New York Times magazine concerning his film JFK and apparent controversies. In part, “You continue to misrepresent my film ‘JFK’, setting up the straw man that I implicate Lyndon Johnson in the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. That is not the case…I think it’s fair to say, that the military/intelligence community had great antipathy toward JFK…and it’s no historical secret that LBJ (firmly on top of domestic issues but insecure in his command of foreign policy) sought out and built relationships with that establishment - relationships that I believe would come to haunt this country in the quagmire of Vietnam.” In fine condition. R&R COA.
