Well, if she is lying, others are lying. Like Barbara Gamarekian, a former Kennedy press aide, who was the original source of the story, not Mimi Alford. We have no reason to disbelieve Mimi Alford’s account.
President Kennedy had some serious faults.

Then in a way, weren't the FBI and CIA possibly correct in viewing JFK as a problem.

Even if the FBI ( Hoover) was right in perceiving JFK as a "problem" (like John Dilliger, or Machine gun Kelley :D) ....Who were declared "public enemies" by Hoover..... Did he have the right to have JFK gunned down like Dillinger, and Kelley?

....No, Mr. Janney, although seen through the prism of our most benevolent view of your motives,we understand you are programmed to make a nice pay day from the hyping of sources with deep and disturbing conflicts, and the single source, sensational account from Timothy Leary, and ignore that Skull and Bones (Whitney surrogate Tex McCrary, F. Trubee Davison, Whitney financial advisor and Paris Review's John PC Train, Thomas Guinzburg who "hired" Jackie "O") and the Rockefellers and CIA have left their greasy fingerprints all over the U.S. publishing "offerings" and BOTH Priscilla Johnsons, we know what we know and it is much more persuasive than your opinion of Pease, Di Eugenio, CTKA, and your "nothing to see here" about a “Republican Party” or “CIA” plot to discredit President Kennedy. The real Priscilla Johnson and the Paris Review just happened to be mentored and paid by the same sources, and the "fake" Priscilla just happens to have a daddy who played with the Rockefellers. Mimi Alford just happened to hold it all in for nearly 30 years and then confess to David Rockefeller's key aide.
Mimi's best friend who she "confessed" to about her alleged affair with JFK was the daughter of this (fascist) fellow.:

Vince,
I hope you find the details in my post today at the JFK Lancer forum relevant and interesting.:

I discovered ten months ago that Mimi Alford’s best lifelong friend, Marion Stuart Pillsbury has
been working for David Rockefeller for the past 23 years and is the daughter of Gerald Ford’s “America First” co-founder, Robert Douglas Stuart, Jr. Last month I also unearthed the fact that
the Harper editor, John W. Leggett, who approved Priscilla Johnson’s assignment to latch on to Marina Oswald, is the uncle of the man Mimi Alford married in 1963, Anthony E. Fahnestock.

....
Mr. Leggett, a graduate of Phillips Academy and Harvard University, received a master's degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University. He is a vice president in New York of Istituto Mobiliare Italiano, an investment banking firm in Rome.
He is a son of Mary Lee Leggett of New York and John W. Leggett of Napa, Calif. His father, a former director of the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa, is a novelist, and his mother, known professionally as Lee Fahnestock, is a freelance translator of French literature. The bridegroom is a great-great-grandson of Harris C. Fahnestock, a founding partner in the National City Bank, a predecessor of Citibank...

His rampant womanizing was a well-established fact before she came forward, so you must be referring to her age at the time.

Actually the whole pool thing with Dave Powers. It makes JFK look like a maniac.

Howard Kingsbury Smith, Osborn Elliott, A. Merriman Smith - 1970
.....Let me cite a few other instances of the reporter's involvement in the events he is covering. Take last
summer in Chicago, for example. There is no question in my mind that certain police officers
deliberately assaulted members of the press who were covering events surrounding the convention— and
certainly there was no such question in the minds of eight Newsweek men who were battered by the police
while wearing clear identification as working reporters and photographers. (This was something,
incidentally, that could not be said for the constabulary's own methods of identifying itself; many of
the police officers removed their badges in the parade to make sure they could not be identified.) So
what should the press' reaction have been? In my view, its duty was to report what happened as
dispassionately as possible and later be willing to testify against whichever offending officers could
be identified. This is what our own men did. Or take the coverage of a more recent event—the trial of
Clay Shaw in New Orleans on charges that he conspired in the assassination of the late President
Kennedy. As it happened, Newsweek's chief reporter on the trial had spent literally thousands of man-
hours investigating the assassination itself and was considered a leading authority on the events that
followed. He had witnessed the assassination from close to the Texas School Book Depository and joined
the chase for Lee Harvey Oswald. He interviewed several of the witnesses at the Tippitt murder scene
and was in the Texas Theatre watching when Oswald was apprehended. He was just a few feet from Jack
Ruby when he shot Oswald, and he later interviewed Oswald's widow several times. It was he who
uncovered Oswald's Russian diary in mid-1964. He covered the entire Ruby trial and was the only
reporter inside at Ruby's funeral. In short, quite an expert— and someone that District Attorney Jim
Garrison was anxious to enlist on his side. But this reporter soon became convinced that Garrison had
no case whatsoever, and he made it his business to publicize this fact. The result was one of the first
critical stories published about Garrison— which was followed by a series of intimidating telephone
calls threatening the reporter's life. In Garrison's mind, this reporter and Newsweek had in effect
become co-defendants, and more than 1,100 prospective jurors were asked if they had read Newsweek's
critical story. We left this man on the story because we believed he was the best qualified to cover
it. And to this day, I am satisfied that he did so fairly and thoroughly. But I would not suggest for a
minute that subjectivity had not been involved— once again, in my view, in the interest of the truth.
Some of you may recall that our final story on Clay's acquittal was given only nine lines in the
magazine. It ran under the headline "Fact and Opinion," and in its entirety it read as follows:
"Acquitted: By a jury in New Orleans, exactly two years to the day after his arrest on charges of
conspiracy to murder John F. Kennedy, retired Louisiana businessman Clay L. Shaw, 55. Convicted: By a
case that collapsed at every seam, District Attorney Jim Garrison, 47, of incompetence and
irresponsibility as a public official." You can't get much more subjective than that or, in my opinion,
much closer to the truth. There are much larger issues, of course, that involve subjectivity in
journalism— indeed the very largest issues of the day— and for a publication such as my own, which has
no editorial page, they can pose a problem. The news magazines ....

I found only three threads in this forum (links displayed below) in which the name Cass Canfield is displayed. I think Canfield, the OSS, and the CIA and those who cooperated with them or were "run" by them, have wanted Canfield to be so obscure. If you look at the patterns below, you can see the links between Canfield and so many objects of our research. It seems obvious Canfield sponsored and united Priscilla Johnson and a "writer from Aiken, SC," George E. McMillan. The only question to be cleared up is who Canfield reported to.
Consider how the involved explanation of how Stalin's daughter ended up with Canfield - Evans - Johnson McMillan, reads like a cover story similar to the ones explaining away the coincidences of Priscilla Johnson being everywhere Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife, Marina were. The question comes up of who were the Kennedys and Bouviers, what bargains did they make and what did they know when they were making them, and afterwards? How did these "literary deals" and Jackie's sister's marriage to Canfield's adopted son influence the speech and actions of the members of the Kennedy and Bouvier families after the Assassination of JFK?*
*Original Research in this post Copyright 2012 , TJ Scully -
The original research displayed is the descriptions of the relationships between OSS, CIA, Cass Canfield, George E.

January 7, 1973
True, in 1967, when it was revealed that Meyer was in charge of covertly funding such organizations as the National Student Association and publications like Encounter, some people, myself included, were upset at the deception and hypocrisy involved, but at least the money had gone to organizations more or less on the non‐Communist left, and the main criticism, in the beginning anyway, had come from the most reactionary members of Congress, not the liberals.
But then last summer—it was a season of heartbreak—Meyer went into the offices of Harper & Row to ask, among others, his old ally of the world government movement, Cass Canfield, to let the C.I.A. see the galleys of a book called “The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia.” The book claimed that the C.I.A. had more than a little to do with the traffic in narcotics in Southeast Asia. Publishing it might, Meyer said, be against the best interests of this country; what's more, the book was very likely full of inaccuracies and was possibly libelous as well..
