Considering that JFK had extreme difficulty in keeping his todger under control I’m surprised that he hasn’t got sprogs in all 50 states…dozens of the buggers ---

…would his lawyers be able to force the JFK estate to be re-opened? Would he get a share of (ongoing) royalties from “PROFILES IN COORAGE” 9and other JFK-authored works? Would Caroline LIKE havinga new half-brother? ---

Once the assets of an estate has been distributed, those assets don’t get redistributed if an heir shows up 44 years later. Only new income to the estate could possibly be claimed. The JFK estate’s royalty income from _Profiles in Courage_ is probably under $10,000 per year. I’m not aware of any other JFK writings that are published, in print, and under copyright. ---

[QUOTE=Walloon] No, there were not secret trips to California to meet up with Marilyn Monroe. And my sources were not “official transcripts” (whatever those are). They are from daily newspaper accounts of his activities on those particular days, published after the fact, from reporters who were there. [/QUOTE] That schedule is an outstanding cite. Thanks. Couldn’t the guy’s mom have been in D.C. though? If not, the schedule is the nail in the coffin for that theory and the investigation should be closed. ---

[QUOTE=DMark] Even if they got proof that he is indeed a Kennedy, let’s see…his father could be John, Bobby, Teddy…was Joe alive then?
