 | still worked on the story after they were
shown it was wrong.
Also intriguing is a flourish added in Rosenbaum's version, which
appears heavily reliant on the Truitts and Angletons as sources.
Rosenbaum writes that Mary's diary, although usually laid upon
her bedroom bookcase, was found in a locked steel box in her
studio. Rosenbaum doesn't probe as to why it was not found in its
usary&resting place. The locked steel box is not a part of any
other version of the story I know, including Tony Bradlee's, and,
in all versions, she supposedly found the diary. Of course, a
locked box suggests intrigue, but it strains reality. Are we to
believe that every time Mary wanted to make an diary entry she
would first fumble for her keys? Even in her own bedroom while
she's living alone?
Of course, Rosenbaum makes nothing of the two most obvious
paradoxes in the entire tale. Almost everyone agrees that, while
the Meyers were married, she was knowledgeable about his CIA
activities and that Cord Meyer was close to Angleton. Reportedly,
the liberal Mary grew disenchanted with Cord, his cohorts, and
the Agency shop talk. She wanted to become her own person, hence
her interest in painting. She also admired Kennedy's policies. If
the above is true, why would she entrust the secrets of her diary
to, of all people, Jim Angleton? This, plus the fact that his
wife and Anne Truitt now say that Angleton found out about his
"inheritance" of the diary on the transcontinental call, seem to
suggest some sort of collusion between the couples. Or else why
would Anne Truitt switch the "entrustment" of the diary from her
to Angleton, as she did in 1995, as if they were interchangeable?
And if Mary had instructed the diary be given to Angleton, why
would he then turn it over to Tony Bradlee?
Finally, let us assume for a moment that the diary did record the
Kennedy-Meyer affair and/or the pot smoking. If that were so,
does anyone who knows anything about
