And why is it that this obscure, unimportant Osvald, seems
to have a double leaving a false path for him?ud
Professor
Richard Popkin has carefully followed the activities of a second
Oswald. 1 Who was the Leon Oswald who met Mrs. Oãio, and whom
she was informed spoke of killing the President? Who was the
Oswald who drove a car at 70 miles an hour, when Lee Harvey
Oswald couldn't drive? who was the Oswald who informed the
automobiles salesman he would soon come into money, and who told
another salesman he was planning to go to Russia? Who was the
Oswald who made a public nuisance of himself at a shooting range?
who was the Oswald who had a telescopic sight put on his rifle?
In all cases the Commission tells us it wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald
Then who was it? What was he doing? Why was he doing this?
that
The point is the actions of Oswaldi. of his associates, or
doubles, are not consistent with an interpretation on the basis
of coincidence.
Oswald was given the most preferential treatment. No
unfavorable action was taken against him when such action was
called for. This was all before the assassination. After the
assassination unfavorable action was taken against him, where it
was
not called for. The physical and eyewitness of the officials
themselves didn't justify an inference of guilt on behalf of
Oswald. The paraffin test was-not consistent with his having
fired a rifle because there were no nitrate deposits on his cheek.
