[…] book would not have been published had the assassination not taken place. For example, the assassination is not the main concern of Seth Kantor’s biography of Jack Ruby but Kantor would hardly have written the book had the assassination not taken place.

[…] is there any evidence about the former? Seth Kantor died in August (Obituary in’ Rocky Mountain News, August 19, 1993).
