Thanks Mr. Healy.
Mr. Josephs:
I used Newman's book, which never got the praise it deserved, both in my chapters on Oswald, and towards the end in my chapter entitled "Mexico City and Langley".
In that latter chapter, I discovered something that was really kind of surprising even to me, who knew a lot about Garrison.
Garrison was the first guy to actually propose that Oswald did not go to Mexico City. THat he was impersonated. When I read his handwritten memo on this I was really taken aback. Because if you read any of the 1966-67 books, that is Weisberg,Lane, Meagher, Epstein, even Popkin, none of them propose this. Popkin thinks Oswald may have been impersonated at Odio's but not Mexico City. Weisberg actually thinks the CIA did a nice job in supplying the WC with info about Oswald in Mexico City. (Everyone makes mistakes--even big ones. Even Harold.)
But working with just the volumes--just the volumes--Garrison was convinced it was not Oswald at the Cuban consulate or Russian consulate. He is up until the wee hours of the morning writing this hand written memo to Ivon. ANd by the time its over, he actually is proposing sending someone to Mexico City to talk to Duran. And furnishing him with photos of people like Thornley to find out who was really there.
This is in 1968! This was a quantum leap forward in the case. By about a decade.
It got buried of course because of what happened to Garrison, the orchestrated campaign to literally destroy him and actually incinerate his evidence via Harry Connick. (An operation which I detail at length.) And in fact, I am the first person to actually discuss his futuristic Mexico CIty ideas, and its 2012.
