With Sirhan Sirhan the cue phrase was "port wine." He apparently had written that phrase over and over in his journal- entire pages filled with it- and some have speculated that it was part of the brainwashing - a trigger phrase.
I read "Catcher in the Rye" in junior high school. I didn't think it was a particularly good book- very over rated. I think someone would have had to have been brainwashed to get obsessed with it.
"Conspiracy Theory" was an excellent movie, though.

It's one of my favorite books.
A coming-of-age story.
I don't see anything conspiratorial about it. I think after the first guy did it, others copied him.
If it was the macarena, other assassins would kill the guy and start doing the macarena.
Operation Open Eyes
Through a combination of hypnosis and powerful drugs it was discovered that a human subject could in fact be programmed to kill at hearing a "trigger" word or command that had been planted in a subject's mind through intensive programming effort.
The subjects were often mental patients with a history of drug use. These made it easier to cover the trail of the mind control programming. Since they were already isolated and troubled no one would know and since they already had a history of mental trouble and drug use no one would care or even believe any strange revelations, should the experimentation go awry.
