Despite the name, the letter is from Miss Bennett. She conveys the League's sympathy re the "severe sentence" meted out to BR, "an outrage on freedom of expression".

Kennedy's assassination was "a stunning shock". "One must hope that Johnson will turn out well. My own feelings are almost exactly those expressed by I.F. Stone in his Weekly of 9 December."

(That issue led off with "We all had a finger on that trigger", but it is more about Kennedy's weaknesses and the need "to think over it carefully before canonizing Kennedy as an apostle of peace.")
