this article comes out, skewing stevenson, who had a wonderful presentation of the united nations, but the implication comes out then that kennedy authorized this himself, that he is the source for the bartlett article. what you can do now as a historian is we can go back and work out who charlie talked to in the white house, when he talked to them. we can look at the memos -- >> host: that presumes people honestly abided by this. >> guest: it's interesting. they generally did. i mean, this is, you know, they are telling everyone this is from the president, it's unusual. they got to do it for awhile. it faded off a bit, but in those initial days, they were playing ball about writing the memos, and you can go in and worked out who he talked to, when they talked to them, when the source was, and there's interesting information we have not quite got the smoking gun, but you can see it's coming from the military advisers, the white house, and kennedy told bartlett to talk to wheeler in the pentagon, and so for historians, you have an oddly, compelling, and very useful source you wouldn't h
