Presumed

So the New York Times now puts the adjective presumed in front of the word assassin regarding Lee Harvey Oswald. Guess no one over there read Case Closed by Gerald Posner. I did, maybe the tenth or twelfth book on the subject for me, and it fundamentally changed the way I viewed the events of 11-22-63.

An even stronger nail in the conspiracy coffin would be Vincent Bugliosi’s mammoth study of the assassination, Reclaiming History. Might be I’ll read it this November if the mood particularly strikes me. If Bugliosi cut his teeth a decade earlier than he did (he rose to fame putting Manson behind bars), the Warren Commission report could’ve been managed by someone with scads and oodles more competancy.
