Phil's footnote:
I've spent a considerable amount of time exploring both enigmas. I thought that in my 12,000-word Philby investigation for the New York Times Magazine some time ago, I had exhausted the number of mysteries Philby set afoot with his double (or triple?) dealing. And I've written frequently on JFK theories, recurrently changing my mind on that morass of mystification; to my current belief Oswald was a shooter, though not ruling out the possibility of a second one, or silent confederates egging Oswald on to do the deed. But what an amazing legacy of paranoia he's left us, what a vast spectrum of theories that seems to keep growing, concatenating.
Oh, there you have it. No need for twelve more words, let alone, 12,000. The author, having left his orchids to convince us he's thought it all six ways over a brandy, leaves us to ponder concatenating.
If we should hear a loud popping sound, it'll be our Ron pulling his head out of his concatenator.
