From The Daily Mail:
The suspicious death of one of President John F. Kennedy's mistresses just months after his death has sparked numerous conspiracy theories. The latest version posits that socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer, a beautiful divorcee who was close friends with the Kennedys and is widely known for having a lengthy affair with the playboy President, was shot in a cover-up operation by the CIA.
A new book was about to reveal that, in her preoccupation with her lover's assassination and ensuing personal investigation, she may have gotten so close to the 'truth' that the CIA found her to be a threat. As a result, agency operatives staged a shooting to make it look like she died due to a sexual assault that turned violent.
In a disturbing twist, the author of the book of the book Peter Janney was shot dead by an unnamed woman after finishing his manuscript. She pleaded self-defence on the basis that he threatened to rape her. Two investigators later claimed to have found proof that the woman was a CIA operative, but they were tragically killed in a light aircraft accident before they could publish their findings.
The offices of the publisher were engulfed by a freak firestorm shortly after the book was published, killing everybody in the building and destroying the company's computer servers on which the book's text was stored. Then there was then a terrible industrial accident at the printers, when their ventilation failed and every single person in the building choked to death on the solvent fumes normally used to clean inking rollers.
A day later, the lorry taking the finished books to the warehouse was rammed off the side of a cliff by a hit-and-run tank driver who has never been identified. The lorry driver and the books were burned beyond all recognition.
Editors note: I wish to extend my condolences to the friends and family of the promising young journalist Brenda McCarthy, who fell to her death from a tenth storey window shortly after filing this copy.

Oliver Stone's JFK movie is number one on the most inaccurate,most manipulated, historical events docudrama.
That is actually its position. The least accurate historical reconstruction ever.
I remember watching it and thinking "I don't believe it. The president was murdered and a giant cover up has taken pace and the evidence is just overwhelming. Why isn't somebody doing something?"
Then I read the Warren commission and the shorter book version of the guy who did a 20 year investigation {some 3,000 pages.- i forget his name but its hard to get more exhaustive than a 3,000 page book that examines just a 7 day period.}
Basically, it was Oswald. On his own. nothing else really makes much sense.
Still a good film though. No doubt it helped the 9/11 was a put up type story to flourish.
Interesting guy Stone. College drop out kid.Third world traveler. Vietnam infantry volunteer and wounded veteran.
So..he knows what he's on about. He just likes to give his movies the same 'little extra' slant that you have done with your review here.
"Cock-up" may be more truthful, but "conspiracy" is so much more fun.
"Basically, it was Oswald. On his own."
Where's the film/book/documentary/blog in that?
BQ & B, sorry to have to break this to you, but now you have read about this cover up conspiracy, the CIA are going to have to kill you to cover up their traces.
First of all, they'll kill every newsagent in the UK who stocks the Daily Mail, a couple of hundred thousand Mail readers, a million people who read the Mail website etc, then they'll be round to bump off me and my family and they'll be calling round at yours whenever the next available assassination slot it, which might be some years from now.
Mark, I think I'm on their waiting list already. Since I don't live on borrowed money, I thought I'd live on borrowed time instead.
I do love conspiracy theories. They bury themselves in the minutiae and ignore the blindingly obvious.
The Towers had to fall by high explosives. You can see the detonations going off and the towers collapsing.
Why do that and fly a plane in? that's really difficult.
Why fly a plane into the tower at all?
If you're the CIA and you're going to break into a building night after night, photographing everything carefully. Moving desks and fixtures to get to the girders under all the paneling. Planting explosives on remote detonation times. Then replacing everything, without being seen. Carefully repositioning the entire floor exactly as it was from the photos so no worker would be suspicious. Night after night.
If you do all that, why fly in a plane at all?
Why not just blow up the towers and blame Osama?
Even better, only half blow up 1 tower making sure to leave a few jihadi videos and some letters from Saddam Hussein around. Maybe even a cheque book from the Ayatollah?
so can we carry a bottle of nightnurse onto planes now?
B, come on, 'fess up, what have you done now? Uncovered the fact that the moon landings were faked?
BQ, I hope you realise that the World Trade Centre towers were blown up because the CIA realised that somebody had hidden documents in one of them which would have revealed the CIA's part in shooting JFK? Problem was, they weren't sure which tower, so they had to do both.
G, nope, the night nurse industry is quite happy if you have to buy another bottle when you arrive at your destination.
The moon landings WERE FAKED!
Everyone knows that.
1) When the astronauts are putting up the American flag it waves. There is no wind on the Moon.
2) No stars are visible in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon.
3) Neil Armstrong is wearing jeans.
