JFK was OK as a President (won some/lost some--Cuban Missle Crisis/Bay of Pigs) and had he lived probably would not have committed to a full scale ground war in VN. However, because of his shortened tenure was not given the chance to develop his potential "greatness"---IMHO.

I'm not saying King did anything illegal sex wise, just that he was the Civil Rights "Rock Star" and had woman throwing themselves at him all the time and, probably like most of us men, did what came naturally more often than not. At least if you believe what Abernathy says about it.

To me it makes him more human. I'm not condemning him for it.
I'm just saying don't anoint him for Sainthood.
