Harold Weisberg was liquidating what had been a successful poultry farm in Maryland when JFK was killed. Weisberg was a former journalist and Senate investigator; he concluded the assassination was never properly investigated. His own private investigation resulted in Whitewash and a number of other books. "I think that it is important for the people to know that their government malfunctioned," he once told an interviewer. "How it did, why it did -- and I think it's important for, at some point, for government to recognize that, and be honest with the people. If that day ever comes, it will do more to restore the missing faith in government than anything I can think of. "
