2) "Fair Play" (Richard Bartholemew), in the middle of
review of "Assassination Science": I would be remiss if
I did not mention another oversight by Fetzer: his
complete omission of the digital photographic
photometry experiments of former U.S. Steel scientist
Tom Wilson. Those experiments, completed and presented
years earlier, but never published, reached many of the
same conclusions as Fetzer's contributors (Harrison E.
Livingstone, High Treason 2, [New York: Carroll & Graf,
1992], pp. 338-39).
I saw both of Wilson's initial public presentations.
The first was at the Assassination Symposium on John F.
Kennedy (ASK) in Dallas in 1991. It was a presentation
involving charts of mathematical calculations and color
slides of computer-processed images.
That debut of Wilson's work was videotaped by South by
Southwest, the conference organizers, but the quality
of the presentation and the video was compromised by a
loud party in the next-door ballroom. The two ballrooms
were separated by a non-soundproof, movable partition.
In what is at best an amazing coincidence, that party
was part of a reunion of U.S. Secret Service agents,
some of whom had served on Kennedy's Dallas trip. That
was learned about three years later by Vince Palamara
while interviewing some of those former agents.
