Has Gore Vidal told all that he knows about the JFK Assassination? It has been reported that he may know more than he has ever told. Only wondering and it would be very interesting if he had any more personal insight on this matter.

Gerald, Maybe Gore Vidal does know more, but if so, he didn't mention it in his latest memoir published this year.

It is in fact a VERY Catholic thing to say! No one wants to actually go to church EVERY Sunday - why do you think there are so many of us lapsed Catholics?
