For thirty of the last forty years I read every book about the Kennedy assassination I could get my hands on including Gerald Possner’s book. Over the years I kept coming back kicking, and screaming to the Oswald did it crowd, mostly because I began to see what a moneymaking industry all of this was, and the facts, and the evidence. All of this did teach me however to be very skeptical about conspiracy theories. Now I just have a good laugh when I hear things like the Halliburton canard.

Gerald Possner is an insipid little weenie that defends Bubba all the way. His book didn’t do it for me it did however reinforce my conclusions.

I have to admit though, the one thing that will always intrigue me about the whole deal is who was Oswald? Now there’s your mystery.

Who was Oswald? Yes, good question, indeed, and the heart of the mystery. Try to get hold of Professor Peter Dale Scott's DEEP POLITICS AND THE DEATH OF JFK ( U of Cal. Press) and OSWALD TALKED by Ray and Mary LaFontaine (Pelican Publishing Co. 1996) You can disregard the ramblings of Judyth Vary Baker, who is currently working
on a novel about her "love affair" with Oswald during the period when they both worked at the Reily Coffee Co. in New Orleans. She in fact was acquainted with him (she was all of 19) but the intervening years have somehow blended modest fact with pot-boiler fiction. You may have seen her lengthy interview on the History Channel's THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY, running the past week, up until yesterday.
Yet even she, who seems to have absorbed nearly ALL the cast of characters used by other conspiracy researchers, touches quite convincingly on a number of plausible scenarios as to who exactly Oswald was, who he "worked for", and how he got enmeshed, from playing both sides of the fence, into something he could not escape from. Do a Google search on her name and search out the outline of her
prospective novel, which will probably only be self-published if at all.
