Totally agreed CD!!
For those who can make it, this appears to be a terrific conference:
Dawn
Making Sense of the Sixties

Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy
*Oct. 3-5, 2008*

Forty years after the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin
Luther King Jr. and presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, and 45 years
after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, questions still
abound about both the circumstances and impact of their murders.
Were these shootings really just the acts of lone gunmen, as the history
books have so long advocated? Or are there clues in these crimes that
might yet prove what so many seem to believe -- that James Earl Ray,
Sirhan Bishara Sirhan and Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone?
On the cusp of another historic presidential election, voters and
historians alike ponder why these men died, what they might have become,
and what their political legacies are today.
From matters of ballistics and trajectories to questions of conspiracy
and cover-up, these three cases present fascinating and important topics
for students of all ages and disciplines.
Following up on its historic 2003 conference on the JFK assassination,
The Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law this fall is
convening many of the top experts on the JFK, RFK and MLK cases for
three days of presentations and panel discussions.
