Jack Ruby's eyes and nose?
Of course the body type could not be Ruby.
Just a first impression -- but let's all keep our heads about us and not buy into the Wilson story until we have good reason to do so.
Charles...I suggest you reword to say:
"Just a first impression -- but let's all keep our heads about us and not buy into the Wilson story until we have READ THE BOOK."
Your statement implies a prejudgment that the book is not worth reading.
If you read the book with a PREJUDGMENT that it is wrong, you will not
learn anything. You must read this book as if COMPUTER ENHANCEMENT
is something you have never heard of and you are learning something
about it from an expert. Many researchers dismissed Tom's findings because
they thought STUFF LIKE THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Reading the book with
this attitude will convince nobody.
Nobody is asking anyone to "lose their heads and buy into something"
that is nonsense.

Dear Jack,
You have drawn an incorrect inference from my statement.
My mind is wide open when it comes to Wilson's work. What I perhaps less than artfully suggested is that we eschew wishful thinking regarding the book and instead bring the full force of our critical thinking to the analyses of its content that must be undertaken.
The only thing I want more than for Wilson to be right is for our judgements of his work to be right.
Again, I expect delivery of the book mid-week, and I can't remember being more excited about the arrival of a JFK-related tome.
Best,
Charles

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
