Whether former U.S. President John F. Kennedy (J.F.K.) was killed by a lone assassin or by a conspiracy has as much to do with the subsequent contours of American politics as if he had tripped over one of Caroline's dolls and broken his neck in the White House nursery. Intellectual ancestry for the assertion that J.F.K. would have pulled the U.S. out of Vietnam can be traced back to an essay by writer Peter Dale Scott, "Vietnamization and the Drama of the Pentagon Papers," which appeared in Volume V of the edition of the book "The Pentagon Papers," published by Beacon Press in 1972.
