A half-century after the event it is surely time to demonstrate, once and for all, that RFK's \u003ci\u003eThirteen Days\u003c\/i\u003e and the personal memoirs of other ExComm members cannot be taken seriously as historically accurate accounts of the ExComm meetings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheldon M.
