The Disappearing Mastoidectomy scar?

[Greg R Parker]

Hi Dave

I'm not sure I follow the Navy hospital report. At first, they are talking about the accidental discharge of a .45 cal. pistol; then they are talking about removing a .22 cal. slug. Why the switch?

The answer is distinctly non-sinister. A little common sense and compassion was shown. The regs banning the personal weapon Oswald had, had only come in a day or two prior to the "accident". Oswald, due to his duties or whereabouts (can't remember which off the top), had not had adequate time to comply.
