[Governor Dinwiddie]

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated personal computers didn't exist. Payroll computers and dedicated scientific computers existed. But you couldn't type in "Lee Harvey Oswald" because there was nothing to type into, no duckduckgo, no google, no Wikipedia. Libraries had card catalogs, not data terminals.

And yet immediately we heard arcane details about Lee Oswald's life. I've got to find that book you recommended "Heritage of Stone". Thank you.

You can read it for free on internetarchive dot org. You have to sign up with an email address, but I didn't see that as a problem. There will be two search engines on the home page. The first one will be the WayBackMachine. Go down the page a bit to the second search engine and enter Heritage of Stone. The title will come up and there will be a borrow button. At my age with my vision, I'd rather read a book online than the old fashioned way. Something else to think about.

The last word must be given to Jack Ruby. Whether he directly fingered Lyndon Johnson as the guiding force in Kennedy's murder and therefore the coup d' état is up for debate. When Jack Ruby was asked in his jail cell who killed John Kennedy, he cryptically responded by saying read J Evetts Haley's book. Although he didn't name the book, he was referring to A Texan Looks at Lyndon. If one reads the book, one will not find any references linking LBJ to the murder of JFK. What one does find interesting is that on March 27, 1952 a good friend of Lyndon Johnson was found guilty of first degree murder by a jury in West Texas. Attached to the verdict was a five-year suspended sentence. Jack Ruby attempted to make the broader point that in Texas political power can make all things possible even getting a way with murder.

The book referenced can also be found on the internet archive.
