Jack,
Thank you for posting this remarkable video interview with Dr. Kurian. The interview provides especially important testimony about the following:
(1) The early use of the name "Harvey" for the Russian speaking boy, as that is the name Dr. Kurian associates with the boy in the interview;
(2) The small stature of the boy (4' 8" according to Dr. Kurian) at a time when the official public school records indicated that "Lee" Oswald was 5' 4". At the time of the interview in 1953, the height of the doctor was 5'7", and Dr. Kurian estimated the height of the boy at the level of his upper chest when the two were standing face to face. When asked if the boy could have possibly been as tall as 5'4", Dr. Kurian was so certain about the height of Harvey that he said, "that wasn't the young man I saw."
(3) The early doubling of Harvey and Lee, wherein Harvey admits to Dr. Kurian than his brother was attending classes in his stead. Evidently, this was the pattern where Lee's class attendance was excellent over the years, while Harvey's schooling was sporadic.
(4) The stunning revelation that there was no FBI interview and no Warren Commission interest in this key witness even after Dr. Kurian had written both to the FBI and to Jacqueline Kennedy.
It goes without saying that John Armstrong performed a great service for the historical record, as he was the only JFK researcher to contact Dr. Kurian and to memorialize the interview in this invaluable recording.
