I'm so glad you mentioned Dorothy Kilgallen; now that's a fascinating rabbit hole. A couple of years ago I read a book about her mysterious death and all that she was investigating about JFK. Wild stuff.

I saw a hilarious Youtube video a few years ago with her in it but didn't connect who she was although the name was familiar.

Even on a game show she showed how intelligent she was, it's a shame she didn't realize the quicksand she was stepping into when she took up the JFK case.

I did note that after her death no other investigative journalist came anywhere near looking into the assassination.

I think word got around that it was very unhealthy to keep poking around and asking questions.
