Yes, Al, I did by mistake. I typed this around 4 or 5 in the morning without any sleep before. I have corrected it. Thanks for telling me.
I had been thinking that the purpose of having Oswald and Tippit at the theater at the same time was that Tippit would be killed there - not by Oswald, but by one of the other policemen who would descend on Oswald - and then Oswald would be shot by other policemen for killing Officer Tippit. The revolver used would be put into Oswald's hand and his revolver would be removed and it would disappear. Then the claim would be that the person who shot the President killed a police officer and was shot in response. No trial, and the government's phony story would be accepted. With Oswald having been "sheep-dipped" in the Soviet Union, who would argue that he was not a communist and pro-Castroite. Voila! War on Cuba, war with the Soviet Union.
Gordon McLendon apparently had great faith that this plan was being carried and, therefore, proceeded to broadcast the 'news.'
On that fateful Friday afternoon as I listened to the radio with others in the student laboratory at LSU Medical School, the radio reporter was already talking about communists being responsdible for the killing of the President. This was before Oswald had been captured and identified, and this was the first story given out by the CIA and their assets.
