Our late friend (who died November 22, 2007) related to Caro in a two-page letter the curious visit to the Boston financial house in the summer of 1963 by an irate Eliot Janeway hissing a prepared speech about the dangerous man this Kennedy was.
Seems like the impetus was more from the forces outlined in The Unspeakable than from the Cornpone Don.
Eliot Jacobstein's visit begs the question who sent him and on whose behalf was he acting? Wikipedia says Jacobstein was an advisor to LBJ when he was in the Senate. Was Janeway a go-between between Johnson and the Sponsors? Something so horrible as to be unspeakable by Caro?

Still though, I find it curious that Caro refrains from saying Johnson couldn't be involved because we all know Oswald did it according to the Warren Report.
Concentrating on the Booth while ignoring the true play being acted out in the streets of Washington that night.
