Dr. Milton Kurian - President of the American Psychiatric Association in the 1950's, Dr. Kurian interviewed (Harvey) Oswald in 1953 in New York City. He remembered that Oswald was very short, slight, and soft-spoken. I showed him the "Bronx Zoo" photo of a small (Harvey) Oswald taken in the fall of 1952, which he identified as the boy that he had interviewed. This is the same photo that, when shown by the Warren Commission to (Lee) Oswald's half-brother John Pic said, "I do not recognize that as my brother." This photo, when compared to Lee Oswald's 6th grade classroom photo from Ft. Worth, shows the distinct difference between these 2 twelve-year-old boys.

Jack,

Thank you for posting this remarkable video interview with Dr. Kurian. The interview provides especially important testimony about the following:

(1) The early use of the name "Harvey" for the Russian speaking boy, as that is the name Dr. Kurian associates with the boy in the interview;

(2) The small stature of the boy (4' 8" according to Dr. Kurian) at a time when the official public school records indicated that "Lee" Oswald was 5' 4". At the time of the interview in 1953, the height of the doctor was 5'7", and Dr. Kurian estimated the height of the boy at the level of his upper chest when the two were standing face to face. When asked if the boy could have possibly been as tall as 5'4", Dr. Kurian was so certain about the height of Harvey that he said, "that wasn't the young man I saw."

(3) The early doubling of Harvey and Lee, wherein Harvey admits to Dr. Kurian than his brother was attending classes in his stead. Evidently, this was the pattern where Lee's class attendance was excellent over the years, while Harvey's schooling was sporadic.

(4) The stunning revelation that there was no FBI interview and no Warren Commission interest in this key witness even after Dr. Kurian had written both to the FBI and to Jacqueline Kennedy.


It goes without saying that John Armstrong performed a great service for the historical record, as he was the only JFK researcher to contact Dr. Kurian and to memorialize the interview in this invaluable recording.

James, I agree wholeheartedly with your points. Thanks Jack for posting this. Not sure if the "argument" over this is still going on over at the other forum, I got too busy to keep up. The validity of Armstrong's work I mean. For me it's not open to argument: the facts speak for themselves.

How many people do you know who ever went to school for their 'brother' or friends.....I think you can count them on a amputated hand.

Yes, quite an amazing interview in the ways mentioned above. I guess the WC and FBI already know all about Oswald(s) and didn't need to ask any more [the real facts would have only confused them from their fictional presentation.....] How many 'brothers' have you every heard of who went to school for their 'brother' [and how did they cover their own class hours?!?!] Is there a part III? If so, I couldn't find it...only parts one and two.
