That is what I actually tried to do. Trace a conspiracy from the ground level, to a mid level, to an upper level and then into the Power Elite.
I then tried to provide a motive, the reversal of Kennedy's foreign policy.
Today, looking at how my last two books turned out, I very much undersold them. I should have had an agent working for me and sold them as a package deal.
They kind of got lost in the shuffle of all those bad books.
Regarding Reclaiming Parkland, did Hanks ever reply in any form or fashion or in any way acknowledge your writing? Just curious.
As an aside, in the Texas Dental Journal last year an oral surgeon conducted an interview with a now retiring oral surgeon named Jack Bolton, DDS, MSD. Dr. Bolton was in the room as an oral surgery intern when Kennedy was brought in and the interviewer asked him a few questions. In a nutshell, he answered that the obvious wound, the fatal wound, was in the right occipital region, that brain tissue was "hanging out of the back of his head"--paraphrasing now--that the neck wound was small and consistent with an entry wound, though he also said he "only noticed the obvious occipital injury". He also briefly explained that oral surgeons were always available in the trauma rooms at Parkland, as the era of seatbelts and airbags had not yet arrived, so midface trauma was common. Also, he said that gunshot wounds were "run-of-the-mill" in those days at Parkland, and he would put those emergency room docs "up against anybody"
FWIW
Thanks
