Well, what I know for sure is:
It was 39 years ago and as you said rehasing it, I see of no value.
We seem to have this inclination to want to tear down people of our past and dispel the myth that they were heroes of their time. Such as JFK or Dr. King. There also seems to be an element that wants to prove a conspiracy theory about everything, again JFK, Dr. King, 911.
Personally I find it a waste of time energy and to no avail. None of us have access to all the info, instead what we have access to is a bunch of anecdotal hearsay esposed by irresponsible people on the net.
A downside to the net, ....it's an unmoderated open forum giving every idiot in the world a platform to try to convince other idiots to think their way and unfortunately they often succeed.
