But, there is no doubt that it is a valuable and unique contribution to the field. And anyone who dismisses it out of hand shows their ignorance because there is stuff in that book that you will not find anywhere else.
To give one example: John's analysis of Mexico CIty is one of the best there is. And his chronicles of the bus rides down and back is unparalleled. In fact, I don't see how anyone can read that and still think there is no question Oswald was on the bus. Which is where I have a disagreement with people like Hancock and Simpich. It is not a done deal that Oswald was in Mexico City and did the things the WC said he did.
Secondly, John's discussion of the MC rifle is a quantum leap forward. No one ever did that before. Third, his review of the alleged REA delivery of the handgun is also unique.
I could go on and on, but its a book much worth reading.
I feel the same way. He strains too hard to get Harvey & Lee involved in every aspect of the events of 11/22/1963 (his Tippit murder/Texas Theater scenario doesn't add up in my opinion), but the rest of the book is essential.
Tracy... The events post 12:30 on 11/22 remain very confusing... LEE had been frequenting a barber shop not far from the Tippit murder and was seen walking past that point at the right time to have been either involved or the actual shooter... remember what Benavidas says about his haircut....
Supposition and hypothesis does not detract in any way from the volume of evidence supporting the existence of both men... and the involvement of LEE with Ruby and other key players. It is with this constant testing of hypothesis that we've discovered most of breadcrumbs leading to revelation.
There is simply no way around the fraudulent school records..
No way around the FBI rushing to Stripling the morning after the assassination to remove evidence of HARVEY attending that school... well before Robert O. slips up and says he attended Stripling.
JA has to be also commended for spending the hours at the Archives producing copies of buried records...
I've spent months reading thru those notebooks and only scratched the surface....
As opposed to hiding them away, unlike many who have soas to "own" some sort of exclusivity, his making available these records via Baylor remains one of the greatest contribution to the research.
I found this ... "Oswald" is repeated many times on this page.... yet it is the HARVEY story... not the LEE or Oswald story which is referred to here....
and the suspicion on Marina - imo - has not fully been appreciated...
