A Culture of Assassination
Fascinating article. Thank you.
Just one fact check: you wrote "In 1960, pressure was mounting from the Kennedy administration to assassinate Fidel Castro."
There was no Kennedy administration yet in 1960. JFK was elected in November 1960 and took office on January 20, 1961.
A small nit to pick, perhaps, but it is sufficiently jarring to interrupt the flow of your otherwise compelling narrative.
Great catch, thank you. This has been updated in the article.
On my walks when I lived in Washington a few years ago, I noted that the Ukrainian embassy is in Georgetown, right next to the Key Bridge on M Street, just a few blocks walking distance from K Street, and about a mile from CIA headquarters.
