... spent hours pouring over the third volume of the Warren Commission Report. He settled on two leads: the aforementioned David Ferrie, and one 'Clay Bertrand'. 'Clay Bertrand' appeared in the testimony of lawyer Dean Andrews who claimed that, following the assassination, he had received a phone call from 'Bertrand' asking him to represent Lee Harvey Oswald. Andrews already knew Oswald slightly having dealt with problems connected with Oswald's Marine Discharge papers; and 'Bertrand' from his involvement with same "gay Mexican kids". Andrews claimed they were friends of Oswald. But 'Bertrand' was never identified.(3) Garrison "solved" that mystery. Clay Shaw was 'Bertrand'. How ...

... was used against political opponents. With Permindex the Soviets were making trouble for US interests, especially in Italy: Gaullist elements used Farewell America to attack pro-American sections within French intelligence as well as exposing some of the CIA's activities. (1) Legend is an example of the same process. Legend is two interwoven narratives: a biography of Oswald, and an account of disputes within the US intelligence services over the status of a Soviet defector, Nosenko. The biography of Oswald is essentially that given in the Warren Commission's Report: lonely left-wing adolescent joins Marines, defects, returns, tries to shoot General Walker and then shoots Kennedy. Epstein tarts all this up with a large ...

... the vast amount of attention paid to Gerald Posner's 'Oswald did it after all!' apologia, Case Closed, it is unfortunate that Russell's book still hasn't found a UK publisher. The Man Who Knew Too Much has a unique take on the 'whodunnit' aspect of the assassination, a synthesis of the left and right wing conspiracy theories: Oswald was involved in the conspiracy to murder the President; and he was an FBI informant and a CIA or Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agent; but he was also working for the communists as a double agent of the KGB or GRU! Russell proposes that, having been sent to the USSR as part of a phony 'military ...

... and action, 'faction' as he cheerfully calls it. He adds little significant new evidence but provides some biographical details on Wallace. Bizarrely, he calls Wallace a Marxist (as does Estes), apparently based on nothing more than a 1949 FBI file. In one of his 'faction' sections McClellan has Wallace, the Marxist, recruiting Oswald, another Marxist. So in his version, if LBJ and Ed Clark were behind the shooting, it was carried out by two Marxists! There is also one little snippet which supports Loy Factor's strange and frequently implausible tale. Factor said he first met Mac Wallace at the funeral of Texas politician Sam Raeburn; he had gone with ...

... muddle of the rest of human (and political) affairs. What a contrast the apparently super-efficient execution and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination makes with the farce and chaos of the CIA's attempts to do the same to Castro. Were there no plausible alternatives to the giant conspiracy view one would have to accept it. But a view of either Oswald the 'lone nut' or some meta-conspiracy is false. The absence of a decent investigation, the on-going cover-up, and the murder itself can be explained without the need to posit a meta-conspiracy. The central step is to recognise that evidence of complicity or acquiescence in the cover-up of the truth about that day in Dallas need imply neither complicity ...

... no dealings with Kruschev or Castro. Douglass's contention that Kennedy did this out of a real interest in making peace may at first seem naïve, or even sentimental, but as he stacks up the evidence it becomes convincing. While establishing his thesis of a Kennedy newly devoted to the cause of peace, he also stakes his ground quickly on Oswald, establishing his credentials in intelligence a familiar argument to anyone who knows the JFK case but also showing that, far from hating Kennedy or seeing him as a target to propel him to fame, Oswald had been studying the President, reading his books, and admired him. What Douglass does, in constructing these parallel journeys, is ...

... much become the consensus view among JFK researchers; and he starts with the apparent advance knowledge of the plot of John Martino, a minor criminal and anti-Castro activist. He presents a selection of the known and reliable evidence to suggest that the anti-Castro Cubans with organised crime and/or CIA links planned to kill JFK, and leave a dead Oswald framed as a pro-Castro, communist assassin, triggering another US invasion of Cuba and scuppering JFK's plans to do a deal with Castro. This is terribly plausible, a good hypothesis, and Hancock handles the immensely detailed material very well; but the basic problem remains: the trails all peter out as we arrive at Dealey Plaza.

When Summers finished the book he continued to follow up certain leads, particularly those connected with "Maurice Bishop" and Oswald in Mexico City. This new information was to appear in a series of articles, "The conspiracy that nearly led to holocaust" for The Observer. Unfortunately, owing to continuing legal difficulties with David Phillips, they were never officially published.
