On April 7, 1964, a 26-year-old detective in the New Orleans Police Department skipped up the steps into the Old Civil Courts building in New Orleans and presented himself to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy.
I’d always known my father had been acquainted with Oswald. They had not only grown up half a block away from each other, but had shared homerooms at school. Sitting alphabetically, my old man Fred sat in front of Oswald for years. O’Sullivan next to Oswald.
Sifting through my Dad’s papers I came upon a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy thanking my father for appearing before the commission. It wasn’t something he spoke of often — just a tidbit of information in a life that went on to greater adventures. ...

Every year about this time speculation abounds as to who really shot JFK. A Dallas police officer who was present that day, now retired, said Americans seem determined to take a straight forward investigation and make it much more. His words are along the line that many people can't accept a cut & dried case ... there has to be endless speculation.
A bolt can be worked plenty fast enough to do what was done. As an ex-Marine, I’m sure he could run that bolt nearly as fast as a semi.
Actually, my understanding is that the route published in the paper was changed at the last minute.
The evidence of conspiracy in the case is actually quite impressive. I suggest you take a look at my little article on it at
Oh, and Bugliosi is a nutball. His book is a bad joke.
Here's an experiment for you. Drive your car about 20 miles an hour and toss confetti out the window.....does it move with the vehicle or flow behind?
Terminal ballistics are frequently counter-intuitive.
You can use a cup of water too.
The first shot missed and hit the street curb. The second shot was in the neck. The third blew his head off.
Where was Bush 41? I believe he was involved in the CIA at the time.
Gerald Ford? On the Warren Commission then later a vice president and a president that was never elected to either office.
Arlen Specter....magic bullit theory.
Heard a former case worker with the CIA in a radio interview a few years back. He swears he brought the rifle to Dallas that killed Kennedy. Said he thought a south American dictator was being killed.
Nixon was on the Warren commission too.

LEWISVILLE – Buell Frazier wants to tell it like it is – or was – on a very important day in U.S. history 45 years ago in Dallas.
The quiet, thoughtful man of 64 is not as well-known as some of the others who skyrocketed to fame or infamy in November 1963. But Mr. Frazier played a defining, if unintentional, role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
He drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work that fateful Nov. 22.
And the Warren Commission, the investigative committee appointed to explain all aspects of Mr. Kennedy's death, claimed that Oswald carried his cheap mail-order rifle to work with him in Mr. Frazier's car.
That put Mr. Frazier in the spotlight immediately after Oswald was captured – and long afterward as a mourning nation sought to find an explanation to the tragedy.
With but a few exceptions, he has kept almost 4 ½ decades of angst, frustration, fear and occasionally even fury bottled up.
All Mr. Frazier did was offer a friendly gesture to a man he hardly knew...
Mr. Frazier was questioned vigorously by police – accused of being involved in the plot to kill Kennedy – and even told falsely by police officers that Oswald had named him as a co-conspirator. After 12 intense hours at the Police Department, he was allowed to take a polygraph test, passed it impressively and was released.
The fact that Mr. Frazier helped train Oswald at his new job (Oswald was hired at the book depository Oct. 16) and had driven him to Irving several times soon faded from most people's memories. But another factor remained noteworthy.
Officials assumed that the package Oswald carried to work that morning was the Italian-made rifle he used to kill Kennedy.
Mr. Frazier still doesn't believe it.
When Oswald got in his car that morning, Mr. Frazier hardly noticed the bundle Oswald laid on the back seat.
"He told me he was taking some curtain rods for his room," Mr. Frazier said. "I didn't think much about it."...

Duh! Because it was published in the Dallas Morning News the day before. That also happens to be how thousands of people knew where to stand to watch the motorcade go by.
It does not make much sense to hold a parade if you don't tell people where the parade is.
