So many great character actors showing up in Parallax View. I was not ready for William Daniels!

I recommend this book. Written using documents released because of JFK records act (law made in response to JFK film) and recovered records from the former Soviet Union. It makes a strong case for Stone's most dubious claim that JFK became a peacenick
