There continued to be no mention on the television --
undoubtedly because the newscasters knew nothing about it -- of
the arrest made of the three men at the assassination scene more
than two hours earlier.
It would be long after the F.B.I. investigation and the
Warren Commission formally had confirmed Oswald's sole guilt in
Kennedy's killer that critics of the government's explanation of
the President's elimination would discover the photographs taken
of the unpublicized shotgun arrest of the men captured behind the
grassy knoll within moments of the murder.
Now, the situation in Dallas escalated from one in which
there had been a scarcity of significant news to one in which the
incoming details were cascading out of the television set, with
bulletins about Lee Oswald tumbling over each other in growing
profusion and richness of detail.
By the following day, a Saturday, the name of Lee Harvey
Oswald had been repeated so relentlessly on every form of media
that overnight it had become a household name throughout the
world. Similarly, his resume' was proliferating almost as
swiftly and, increasingly, it was coming to include -- of
particular interest to me -- more and more about his stay in New
Orleans through the summer preceding the assassination.
By Sunday morning I had arranged for a special meeting
of the key members of my staff to meet at the office that
afternoon. The New Orleans connection meant that, however
peripheral our effort might turn out to be, we had to inquire
into Lee Oswald's possible associations in our jurisdiction
