Trine Day have some excellent titles in their library - they reprinted Hendrik's GREAT HEROIN COUP, recently published an admired book on Oklahoma, and have solid books on 9/11 by Mark Gaffney - but the Baker stuff brings down the imprint. I agree with you. We need more people doing the sort of stuff that Newman, Bill Simpich, yourself and a bare few others are up to.
Is Dynasty the name of Walt's book or an article? Curious what he'd have to say about Judy.
I found the chronology, Dynasty / Death / Discovery to be a really interesting presentation with events I hadn't heard of (the team in yellow raincoats with rifles outside the hotel in Ft Worth when JFK addressed the crowd in the morning, for example) and Walt Brown's comments.
His insights into the difficulties learning Russian were something I hadn't thought about.
For me, he spent too much space on Baker while rejecting her story, but overall I found the Chronology very interesting.
Minor quibble: Brown repeats several times LHO's quote that 'Nobody axed me that question' implying that saying axed instead of asked is a sign of low intelligence, but I have heard a few people from Louisiana use that pronunciation.
