Have you read "Case Closed" by Posner? I went from conspiracy theory to lone gunman (Oswald) after reading that book and seeing documentaries. Not right away, but gradually. I still see Oswald doing it alone as the most plausible scenario, by far.

I am only talking about what happened in those few seconds in Dealy Plaza, I do not know about what happened prior to that that may have significance to the case, if anything.

One other thing before I turn in for the night. I remember someone saying that there was a last minute change in the motorcade route. That originally they weren't supposed to go by the bookstore. The supposition there was that Oswald could not possibly have known of the change in the route days before when he was picking his shot-spot and therefore set himself up in the wrong position if he was going to kill Kennedy. Had either of you ever heard/read that one. I suppose the route had to be common knowledge just before the motorcade came through that day or else there wouldn't have been so many people lining the street there.

I'll wait a few minutes for your responses and I've got to hit the hay. It's late on the eastern front.

Oh, wideminded, I knew you couldn't resist responding to my last tirade. I wouldn't have resisted either.

Have you read "Case Closed" by Posner?

I haven't read his entire book although I read some long magazine excerpts when it came out and of course he has been interviewed on TV many times. Posner is extremely convincing and his book seems to be much more well-researched than any of the conspiracy books, with a lot of new information and clarification of previously confusing factors. The title might be a little strong, but anyone who disagrees with Posner is going to have to come up with something pretty good. Posner's book came out 10 years ago and I haven't heard of his conclusions being overturned by some new information.
