I'm reading it a second time. In areas that interest me, like the 544 Camp/531 Lafayette Street question, I'll cross-check with a LN site, such as McAdams.
McAdams' explanation of why Oswald put that address on his FPFC flyers is bogus. First he argues that there are two addresses and two entrances. Yes - 531 Lafayette & 544 Camp are different addresses. But they are also the same damned building. (BTW, there is now a Federal Courthouse on that piece of ground.)
The Newman building had one owner even if it did have two addresses and entrances. So why then did LHO put 544 Camp Street on those flyers?
McAdams' answer seems to be that Oswald just screwed up. But that doesn't answer the question of why he screwed up in that particular way. LHO put that address on those flyers. Everybody agrees he stamped 544 Camp Street on them. The WC, the HSCA, even the LN'ers agree. So why did LHO do that?
The problem I have with the LN theory is that one has to buy into not just one screw-up. You have to buy into a cascading fountain of screw-ups, accidents & coincidences leading to Oswald's assassination by Ruby. It not only strains credulity. It shreds it.
Something I want to know though & DiEugenio doesn't answer it. Why did RFK sabotage the Garrison investigation? That's the only conclusion I can draw. RFK didn't want Garrison investigating the case. Why?
I think there is no papering over that. RFK sabotaged the Garrison's investigation into his brother's death.
Why?
On the down-side, I'm not yet persuaded JFK was abandoning the Cold Warrior mentality. He had an election coming up in 1964.
One Vietnam-related executive order JFK did not rescind involved the use of herbicides in Vietnam. (Operation Ranch Hand)
