Reply #9: In 1964, [View All]

[H2O Man]

during the week of the democratic convention, LBJ had the FBI watching RFK and monitoring his contacts with King. He was concerned the two were planning to promote Robert for something other than NY Senator.

In 1967, during the Labor Day meeting of the National Conference for New Politics in Chicago, there were plans to nominated a ticket of King and Dr. Spock. (The process was disrupted by agent provocateurs. (In '68, Spock was charged with four others on federal charges of conspiracy, for fighting the draft. Spock and three others, who had never been in the same room, were convicted; the following year, a federal court overturned that conviction.)

In 1972, Spock ran for president, with one of my old friends as his choice for VP.
