Morin was an AP correspondent and a personal friend of JFK's (he claims; probably was, since many people in the media ironically liked Kennedy when he was alive). I read his book years ago and took notes. It's one of those instant books that is short on facts and long on hyperbole.
He described Oswald as "deranged, but he had a certain psychotic cunning." He attacked the European media, "where the belief that the President had been the victim of a conspiracy already was unshakably fixed. Convinced of this from the start, European newsmen had been busy digging up half-truths and fragments of facts, building hypotheses on other hypotheses to lend credence to the conspiracy theory. Europeans, unaccustomed to apolitical assassination, simply could never accept the proposition that all three Dallas murders were the product of two deranged minds and a set of almost unbelievable improbabilities."
See? It's those crazy Europeans. They can never see how right we Americans are about everything.
