Tonsils CAN grow back, but they usually don't. The fact that one Oswald had tonsillitis is an indication--though not proof--that he was different than the Oswald who had the procedure. One side of this debate is working awfully hard to make this simple situation sound impossible when, in fact, it is the MOST LIKELY conclusion from the available evidence. That's all.
This CU of Harvey Oswald's left elbow at DPD headquarters seems to confirm the autopsy report indicating no scar is visible from the gunshot wound Lee Oswald acquired just six years earlier.

That's not what is in the book now, is it Jim?
This is the type of sentiment expressed in the book, isn't it?
Quote:So.... Did Lee Harvey Oswald's tonsils grow back? Were Marine medics hallucinating? Or is there a more likely explanation?
Quote:The Warren Commission, John Armstrong believes, combined the biographies of two different people to arrive at the classic legend of Lee Harvey Oswald. One was a Russian speaking youth, possibly the child of Hungarian parents. Armstrong notes that this person was referred to as "Harvey." The other was a taller but similar looking boy with a Southern U.S. accent, born as "Lee Harvey Oswald." Both may well have become entangled at an early age in an intelligence operation. It was "Harvey" who traveled to Russia and was shot dead by Jack Ruby. It was "Lee" who got into a fight in the ninth grade at Beauregard Junior High School and lost a tooth.
One Lee Harvey Oswald had his tonsils removed on January 17, 1945. The other did not.
No admission that that tonsils can grow back there is there?
Nope. Just sarcasm about the possibility as expressed in the oh so garish header MAGIC TONSILLECTOMY
So Jim, why has the magic tonsillectomy not made it into the new website?
