520 $a"Who really murdered Mary Pinchot Meyer in the fall of 1964? Why was there a mad rush by CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton to immediately locate and confiscate her diary? What in that diary was so explosive and revealing? Had Mary Meyer finally put together the intricate pieces of a bewildering, conspiratorial mosaic of information that revealed a plan to assassinate her lover, President Kennedy? And was it mere coincidence that Mary Meyer was killed less than three weeks after the release of the Warren Commission Report? Drawing on years of painstaking research and interviews, much of it revealed here for the first time, author Peter Janney traces the most important events and influences in the life of Mary Pinchot Meyer--including her exploration of psychedelic drugs as a protégé of Timothy Leary and her support of her secret lover, the President of the United States, as he turned away from the Cold War toward the pursuit of world peace. The fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination--and Mary Meyer's--has come and gone, but their deaths remain a haunting harbinger of America's fall from grace. This third edition of Mary's Mosaic has been updated with one final chapter on the mysterious "runner on the towpath," Lt. William L. Mitchell, who disappeared after the 1965 murder trial and subsequently altered his name. Who was he really? And what role did he play on the morning Mary Meyer was murdered? After deposing Mr. Mitchell in 2014, followed by two grueling years of research and legal battles with the U.S. Army, author Peter Janney delivers a riveting "finale," bringing this story to a thundering conclusion."--Back cover.
