At last an editor who cares about the underdog -- and
from the heart of New York, at that!
For readers of the new generation, new clarity can be
introduced into a picture previously confusing to them. The
account will give new life to the early account by Life magazine
-- the sole possessor of the Zapruder film -- which explains that
the bullet hole in the front of the President's throat as the
result of turning to look back of him (for one more glance of the
architecture of the School Book Depository Building). I can dig
up Hugh Aynesworth's (of Newsweek) early description of my
investigation as being based on "twin Oswalds" operating in
Dallas. A major contribution would be David Lifton's earnest
contention -- which he still was making in the late 1960's --
that the assassins in front of Kennedy were mounted on the
platform of a large utility type cherry picker located on the
grassy knoll and described as a tree. As for the Warren Report,
one more accounting of that sleazy compendium would make the book
a real page turner.

John Manchester, Jim Bishop, Jim Phelan, Gerald Ford, Milton

A few more quotations from some of them would provide a
colorful guide to my credibility for readers who might stay on to
read the remaining chapters of the book: Paul Hoch ("I challenge
Mr. Garrison to describe the evidence in his possession at the
time he ordered Clay Shaw's arrest", Circa 1986/1987)
Peter
Dale Scott ("I have some problems with Mr. Garrison's
investigations", Circa same time period). Anthony Summers ("The
Garrison inquiry fizzled out in a blaze of adverse publicity --
an episode in which concern about Mafia links was conspicuously
absent. In 1979 an Assassination Committee report noted that the
New Orleans District Attorney met John Rosselli -- a key figure
in the Mafia's relationship with the CIA -- no more than a month
after Ferrie's death. The report quoted a CIA Inspector
General's report, as finding this meeting, coming at the height
of the New Orleans investigation, "particularly disturbing.
