[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 340727, member: 57984"] Long-before nuDALLAS or even the reunion movies, JR became scary again when Oliver Stone cheekily cast Larry as "Jack Jones" in NIXON -- a fictionalized composite metaphor for H L Hunt, Syd Richardson, Brown & Root/Halliburton -- at a real-life 1963 assassination eve party at the Clint Murchison mansion in north Dallas where the planned crime was discussed; Nixon was shown in the movie disapproving obliquely, but he was there. (Contrarians insist that the night of this soirée, Nixon was with Joan Crawford -- both in town for a Pepsi bottlers seminar -- and that they were attending a show by comic Robert Clary, later of HOGAN'S HEROES, at a Dallas hotel and that Clary conveniently referred to Nixon when he and Crawford came in late, joking "you either love him or you hate him!" eliciting a laugh from the future president) so he couldn't possibly have been at Murchison's party. But others, including LBJ's mistress, insist Nixon was indeed at the Murchison shindig held to celebrate J Edgar Hoover of the FBI, and even future White House correspondent, the near-legendary Helen Thomas, later signed an affidavit as to the existence of the party and who was in attendance. Anyway, most of us have always taken for granted that Jock and JR were at least peripherally involved in the JFK assassination (and Oliver Stone obviously agreed) which is probably what sent liberal Ellie off into her jungle of denial for the rest of her life.
