    implausible JFK conspiracy theories out there–in addition to the also-implausible anti-conspiracy theory that he advocated. And that was what was problematic about Bugiliosi’s intellectual approach to the JFK story. The idea that you could get at the truth about JFK’s death by refuting every false theory strikes me as very odd.
