That is, yes there was something of a whitewash to spare evverbodies' feelings, but also there was, and is a visceral hatred of that divinely-condemned Kennedy family, even among some normal celtic persons, who believe that that family needs to be extinguished, not by assassination, but by due process of law, fair trial, hanging, etc. The Kennedys are to the Irish community as Bill Gates is to the Autistic community; an embarassment, and something to boast about, all at once Dang, Maggie, and yer gonna hate me for this, but I am of two minds about the whole business.

The recording of a Dallas motorcycle officer's stuck mic was analyzed by Bolt Beranek and Newman (a former employer of mine) and others. The echo patterns on the tape were consistent with a shot from the area of the infamous Grassy Knoll. This indicates the possiblity of a second shooter. Anything more than that is pure speculation, but that seems to be a sport for some.

She pointed him out to me in Little Five Points, in Atlanta. As far as I know, I, myself, have not radios in my head. I know somebody who knows Kerry Wendell Thornley.

That may be true, at least partially, and the Warren Commission Report is far from complete, but of course, even Justice Warren had a deadline. Still a far reach from Garrison and Stone's conspiracy theories though. I'll leave you with the potential of the Bugliosi book mydear Maggie. b2 Maggie,
