Description
Host, Angela Hill facilitates a conversation between her guest and a live studio audience about the book "Mafia Kingfish" by John H. Davis. Her panelist is author John H. Davis. Topics discussed include supposed evidence that links Louisiana mobster Carlos Marcello to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which opposes the Warren Commission's official report, and Lee Harvey Oswald's ties to the Marcello criminal organization. It is highly critical of the Department of Justice and the FBI's investigations under then FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover. Also discussed is then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's full scale investigation into the Nation's mafia organizations, most notably Jimmy Hoffa and Carlos Marcello, and the grief Bobby Kennedy endured in the aftermath of his brother's assassination. Airdate: November 28, 1989.
