Il successore
	Burdick Eugene 1964	IL SUCCESSORE is the Italian version of the book "The 480", a political fiction novel by Eugene Burdick (1964). The plot evolves around the political turmoil after John F. Kennedy assassination in 1963. In the novel, a fictitious charismatic character, John Thatch, an engineer, is seeking nomination for the Republican Party candidate at 1964 presidential elections. He is described as being contaminated with the "political virus". A handful of political professionals is promoting his nomination, in confrontation with the Party establishment. There exist apparent parallels between Thatch and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., a write-in hero at New Hampshire primary. The novel criticizes the socio-political effects on society at large from the use of computers to run massive simulations, which predict the public reaction to certain (proposed) political moves before implementing them. Such simulations make it easy to manipulate the public consciousness. The 480 in the title denotes the number of groups (by party affiliation, socioeconomic status, location, origin, etc.) that the computer simulation uses to classify the American electorate. The full list of these is reproduced in the Appendix, claimed by the author to be the true list used by the Simulmatics Corporation (real name) in Senator John F. Kennedy's Presidential campaign in 1960. The Simulmatics Corporation was created by MIT Professor Ithiel de Sola Pool, who provided a non-fiction backup to "The 480" in "Candidates, Issues, and Strategies: A Computer Simulation of the 1960 Presidential Election," MIT Press, 1964 (with co-authors Robert P. Abelson and Samuel L. Popkin). They built their model from 130,000 archived interviews in Gallup and Roper polls over a ten-year period. Based on its output, they advised Kennedy that he would benefit from a strong civil rights stand and that he had nothing to lose, and much to gain, by attacking religious bigotry and dealing frankly with his Catholicism.
In His Steps [Lyndon Johnson and the Kennedy Mystique]
	Paul R.Henggeler 1991	In the White House, Lyndon Johnson was haunted by the myth of Camelot. In this intimate personal and political history based on exhaustive new research, Paul Henggeler chronicles Johnson's frustrating struggle with John and Robert Kennedy. LBJ saw in them both opportunities and threats. Towards John he felt affection and respect, and he often drew upon the "Kennedy legacy" in his conduct of the presidency, recognizing its immense political value. But Johnson feared Robert Kennedy as the living embodiment of that legacy and as a man who was determined to dethrone him. Drawing upon thousands of fresh documents as well as published sources, Paul Henggeler has constructed a fascinating and revealing account of personalities and politics which crippled the Johnson presidency and produced dramatic upheaval at the highest level of government.

This book, finished right before Connally's death, is the story of his life in politics, a life of almost Shakespearean range, marked by great triumphs as well as personal tragedy and heartbreak.
