Clay Shaw

[Peter Lemkin]

That men of letters (at the minimum Messrs. Shaw, Angleton, Phillips, and Hunt) were Facilitators of JFK's murder should come as small surprise to those who appreciate the conspiracy for its literary qualities.

You took the words right out of my keyboard! I found the piece interesting, as I believe no one else has really gone into this 'angle'[ton]....to this depth. He appears not to be all that well versed in all the events of Dallas, but does fill in some missing pieces of the puzzle. He gave this as a lecture at the Univ. N. Dakota Conference. Jim F. you were there, did you meet him? Anyway this is his bio from the conference: MICHAEL SNYDER received his Ph.D. in English from University of Oklahoma. He focuses on mid-to-late twentieth century American literature and culture and Native American literature and theory. His publications can be found in such journals as Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction and Studies in American Indian Literatures, and the book Gerald Vizenor: Texts and Contexts. He is working on books on two gay American authors: the underrated genius James Purdy and James Leo Herlihy, the author of Midnight Cowboy. (e-mail: mkesnyder@yahoo.com).
