Sarah McClendon VS. JFK PART 1 OF 4- Kennedy Detail

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_McClendon
For over half a century, presidents had found themselves confronted by her questions — often shouted — about treatment of veterans, government secrecy and other issues.

"She was one of the greatest newspaperwomen Washington ever saw," said Helen Thomas, who has covered the White House for decades and is currently a columnist for Hearst newspapers.

"She walked in where angels fear to tread," Thomas said. "She had guts, she asked the questions that should have been asked, and she asked questions for people who had no voice." She said McClendon "made the veins stand out" on President Eisenhower's forehead.

President Clinton sometimes seemed amused by McClendon.

"All of us who called on her in news conferences did so with a mixture of respect and fear, I suspect, because we would never quite know what she might say," Clinton said in a statement. "I couldn't help but admire her spirit."

Her missives to chief executives sometimes met with mixed results. At a 1962 press conference, she asked President John F. Kennedy whether he knew "two well-known security risks" were working at the State Department.

Kennedy defended the men and rebuked her publicly. He also continued to call on her. "I try not to" recognize her, the president once said, "but I'm drawn to her."

Vincent Palamara was born in Pittsburgh and graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Sociology.

Although not even born when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Vince brings fresh eyes to an old case. In fact, Vince would go on to study the largely overlooked actions - and inactions - of the United States Secret Service in unprecedented detail, as well as achieving a world's record in the process, having interviewed and corresponded with over seventy former agents (the House Select Committee on Assassinations had the old record of 46 with a 6 million dollar budget and supboena power from Congress), not to mention many surviving family members, White House aides, and even quite a few Parkland and Bethesda medical witnesses for a corresponding project. The result was Survivor's Guilt; The Secret Service & The Failure To Protect The President, a very successful self-published book that sold thousands of copies in the 1990's before becoming a free online e-book in 2006.

In addition, the aforementioned corresponding project on the John F. Kennedy assassination medical evidence, JFK: The Medical Evidence Reference, Vince's second book, although almost an afterthought to Vince's main area of research, still sold hundreds of copies and was favorably mentioned in books by William Law, R. Andrew Kiel, James Fetzer, and even Vince Bugliosi. Like his first book, Vince's medical evidence tome became a free online e-book in 2006.

All told, Vince has been favorably mentioned in over 50 JFK and Secret Service related books to date (including two whole chapters in Murder in Dealey Plaza, The Secret Service: The Hidden History Of An Enigmatic Agency by Philip Melanson, and the Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board, among many others), often at length, in the bibliographies, and in the Secret Service - and even medical evidence - areas of these works.

Vince has appeared on the History Channel, local cable access television, YouTube, radio, newspapers, print journals, at national conferences, and all over the internet. Also, Vince's original research materials, or copies of said materials, are stored in the National Archives (by request under Deed Of Gift by the ARRB), the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Harvard University, the Assassination Archives and Research Center, and the Dallas Public Library.

Vince Palamara has become known (as he was dubbed by the History Channel in 2003) "the Secret Service expert." As former JFK Secret Service agent Joe Paolella proclaimed: "You seem to know a lot about the Secret Service, maybe even more than I do," while fellow JFK Secret Service agent Chuck Zboril stated: "You might be helpful to the official Secret Service historian who works out of Washington!"

I ADORE HER!

[VincePalamara]

@NostalgicChannel same here! she hosted my 1995 presentation: see parts 2-4

President Kennedy was a very nice man, was NOT difficult to protect, and NEVER ordered the agents off the rear of his limousine (nor did his staff). The buck stops with the Secret Service. Don't believe any books by former agents trying to say otherwise!

How beautifully he handled this question! I wish the film and sound was better - but I love it. The guy below is right. He is The Man!

[NostalgicChannel]

I would know because the agents are liars...and talk very bad about JFK...Its very intriguing.

@mrbrandon71 reagan was way too naive and filled with promises by the elite of this country. he no doubt was a great man and his image/ presidential image, which is very important, was great... his actual acts as president have greatly weakened our country. wall st has taken over, trickle down economics, letting pakistan go nuclear, the iran countras, the raising of the debt and taxes.

@VincePalamara No doubt...you saw through that BS too, huh? Maybe if those secret services failures had stayed out of the bar till 5 am on the night before the assasination they could of reacted to get him down 4-5 seconds after the shooting started and did their job...they are all a bunch of cowards.

[mrbrandon71]

The last real president who attempted to do his job in the history of the United States. Bascially a wealthy and devoted family man, despite his pecadillos. A class act which has only been approached by Reagan....somewhat!

[rosie4422me]

yes, it true the BEST president!!!
