Workflow 'Deep Politics map'

[Tracy Riddle]

I thought about creating something like this, but I could tell it wouldn't be long before it became impossible to read because of the millions of intersecting lines.

It might be better to create something like this:

Name
[size=12]Names of Primary Associates
[size=12]Names of Secondary Associates
[/SIZE][size=12]Names of possible associates


example:

[size=12]Lee Harvey Oswald
George deMohrenschildt
[size=12]Dave Ferrie
[/SIZE]David Atlee Phillips
[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

Thanks Tracy, this is actually a really neat format you've proposed. I might use this if you don't mind?

Question: would the secondary associates have to be associates of the primary associates, or is it just for the Name at the top?

I am finding the intersecting lines are a problem and so I was considering leaving out the incidental associations and prioritising so that I'm left with only the associations completely relevant to the assassination.
Of course the importance/relevance is open to wide interpretation.

Sure, you can use it.
The other names only apply to the first name at the top. George DM was a close friend of Oswald (other primaries would be his mom, Marina, Robert, etc). Secondaries would be people Oswald had a lesser connection to (the Paines, Roy Truly, Earlene Roberts). Possibles would be people he may have been associated with, but we can't be 100% sure (Gerald Patrick Hemming, for example).
