On November 22,1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot
to death from ambush ia Dallas. What followed in the almost
dosen years is confusing. Individually, the events of the
years following are serious in their own light. Lumped
together, they form what could be a potential horror story.
For all these years many, many Americans have questioned
the “official" version of the lone assassin theory.
But it became popular—that same theory is the official
verdict in the shootings of Senator Bobby Kennedy, Gover-
nor John Connally, Governor George Wallace and Dr. Martin
Luther King. Many words have been written about it
and now cries for the reopening of the investigation of the
killing of President Kennedy are rettlne louder. AU of the
investigations should be reooeaed and the foreign connection
conspiracy angle should be looked into. The circumstances
of the other events are particularly shocking. A huge
amount of criticism has fallen upon the Warren Commission,
beaded by the very controversial Earl Warren, that sort
of spawned the lone assassin theory. The latest apology
for the Warren Commission made the news just Tuesday
night of this week . Basically, the apology for possible in-
competence was that the warren Commission could only
make Its decision on the things told to it and that, if someone
gave false information to it, then the commission could
not be responsible. I thought it sounded rather feeble,
especially since a member of the Warren Commission now
sits as the appointed President of The United States. All
these things could be plain circumstance. But consider
for a moment the following events. In the book “Rush To
Judgement’* there is the passage that states that Marina
Oswald told the warren Commission that Lee Harvey Oswald
bad also attempted to kill then former Vice-President
Richard Nixon and Major General Edwin A. walker because
of their political views. Governor John Connally was
seriously wounded at the same time President Kennedy was
silled. Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr was the
first high official to officially report to the Commission
a rumor that Oswald may have been some sort of under-
cover agent. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison
was the first to really push the conspiracy theory of the
assassination. Three of these men were assassination
targets and two were involved pushing the investigation of
conspiracy —- and all, in later years, ran afoul of some sort
of , persistent prosecution, damaging litigation and
attempted discredit. At this time, it is all history, but
a complete and thorough public bearing and a reopened
investigation are the only way to answer the question of
coincidence or whatever else. There must be some way
for the people to know the whole truth and be presented
all the facts, letting the chips tall where they may. The
lone gunman theory really stretches the imagination,
especially since all those supposedly deranged Individuals had
the ability and means to cross and recross international
boundaries. There are too many questions coming up now
for the issue to be turned off. But, whatever the way of
the reopened investigation , it must be done completely
independent of governmental agencies. It must be done
by competent representatives of the people, somehow.
It must be done and it must cover the complete realm of
political assassination, and It must be openly public. Finally
it must be done soon.
