Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 When I heard the news of President Kennedy’s assassination, I was shocked and disbelief quickly turned to anger. I felt a sense of unreality as the unending reportage flooded in from Dallas.
#2 The New Orleans connection meant that my office had to investigate Oswald’s possible associations in our jurisdiction. We discovered that the alleged assassin had been seen with a man named David Ferrie during the summer. I got my people on the telephone to investigate a possible Oswald–Ferrie relationship.
#3 I had met David Ferrie once, in 1962, when I was walking across Carondelet Street near Canal Street. He had been shouting congratulations on my election as district attorney. I had remembered him as an adventurer and pilot, and his reputation as an anti-Castro activist.
#4 I had a high regard for the American legal system, and was confident that an F. B. I. investigation into David Ferrie and any other matters related to the President’s assassination would be thorough.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

When I heard the news of President Kennedy’s assassination, I was shocked and disbelief quickly turned to anger. I felt a sense of unreality as the unending reportage flooded in from Dallas.

#2

The New Orleans connection meant that my office had to investigate Oswald’s possible associations in our jurisdiction. We discovered that the alleged assassin had been seen with a man named David Ferrie during the summer. I got my people on the telephone to investigate a possible Oswald–Ferrie relationship.

#3

I had met David Ferrie once, in 1962, when I was walking across Carondelet Street near Canal Street. He had been shouting congratulations on my election as district attorney. I had remembered him as an adventurer and pilot, and his reputation as an anti-Castro activist.

#4

I had a high regard for the American legal system, and was confident that an F. B. I. investigation into David Ferrie and any other matters related to the President’s assassination would be thorough.

#5

I was born with the Knoxville patriotism in my blood, and I grew up in New Orleans. I entered the Army a year before Pearl Harbor, and I enjoyed it so much that it became a surrogate family to me. I was never so conscious of the Army’s competence and efficiency when I was flying over Nazi concentration camps.

#6

I was elected district attorney in 1962, and I brought to the city a new and independent D. A. ’s office. I did not have any political appointments on my staff. I chose my assistant D. ’s from among the top graduates of the neighboring law schools and from among the best young trial attorneys in New Orleans.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I was very content with the way my life was going in 1966. I was happily married, the father of three children, and I had a great job. I was tranquilized by the world around me.

#2

I was surprised to hear that doubts persisted about Kennedy’s assassination in high quarters. The Warren Commission had provided no adequate index to its exhibits, and the conclusions in the report seemed to be based on an appallingly selective reading of the evidence.

#3

The witnesses at Dealey Plaza did not support the official explanation of the President’s murder. They heard shots coming from the picket fence, and saw smoke from rifle fire drifting up through the cluster of trees.

#4

Many witnesses said they heard the shots coming from the grassy knoll area, which was in front of the picket fence. The police officers were running past them, headed behind the knoll.

#5

The switchman at the railroad yard, Lee Bowers, testified that many people came to the area around his tower after the assassination. Some were taken off the trains, and some were arrested.

#6

There was evidence that several men may have been impersonating Secret Service agents around the railroad yard area, but the Warren Commission and its staff simply dropped the matter.

#7

I realized that all the official government investigations of the assassination had systematically ignored any evidence that might lead to a different conclusion than that Lee Oswald was the lone assassin.

#8

I knew that Marine intelligence activity was guided by the Office of Naval Intelligence, so I went to 544 Camp Street to see if there was a connection between Oswald and the O. N. I.

#9

I found out that Guy Banister, the anti-communist lawyer, had been using Oswald as an agent provocateur. For what purpose and under whose auspices remained a mystery.

#10

I went to look at the addresses on Magazine Street that I had found in my research about Lee Oswald. One was the Reily Coffee Company, where Oswald had been listed as an employee in 1963. William Reily, the company’s president, had actively supported the anti-Castro movement for years.

#11

I went to the Crescent City Garage, which was next door to the coffee company where Lee Oswald had worked. The garage operator, Adrian Alba, said that Oswald had spent a lot of time there. The FBI had been the garage’s official tenant for years, and it was not surprising that there were many gun magazines for Oswald to read.

#12

I had learned from Guy Johnson, a longtime prosecutor in the district attorney’s office, that Oswald had visited the garage frequently.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

I met with Jack Martin, the victim of Guy Banister’s pistol-whipping. He told me that the reason Banister had beaten him was because he had an argument over telephone bills.

#2

It was still too early for me to create a formal investigative team to look into the assassination. I assigned Louis Ivon the job of wooing Martin and persuading him to overcome his mental block about the action at Banister’s place.

#3

I had to find someone with whom I could brainstorm and acquire more understanding. I found Frank Klein, who had served in the Marines, to be the perfect person. He was almost Teutonic in his appreciation of discipline and order in administration. I was more comfortable with the command of a loose ship.
