...changes have not come overnight. A striking example was the election of John Lindsay as mayor of New York in 1965. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants such as Lindsay make up probably no more than 5% of the city's population. His opponent, Abraham Beame, was a Jew, and as has often been said, New York is the biggest Jewish city in the world. But Lindsay won. Says Michigan's George Romney: "The bloc vote has disintegrated. In 1962, I got only 11% of the Negro vote. In 1965, it was up to 19%. This year...
Eight-millimeter film of the assassination taken by Abraham Zapruder indicated that Kennedy and Connally received their wounds in a space of time too short to allow Oswald's gun to be fired twice. Thus the single bullet theory is in fact critical to the whole version of events propounded in the Warren Report. If Kennedy and Connally were struck by separate bullets, either there was a second sniper or the Commission's chronological reconstruction of the assassination was inaccurate...
Things have been that way since 1910, when the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching issued a searing -- and much-publicized -- report indicating that this country's medical students rarely received systematic or competent instruction. Almost immediately, fly-by-night medical schools "collapsed to the right and left," Abraham Flexner, the report's author wrote later. Remaining schools dedicated themselves to teaching students all there was to know about medical science...
...check your Bible, you will see that the Arabs are part of the white race. Reason why everyone's so hard on the Arabs is, they just don't know they came from Abraham by way of his son Ishmael. But the Jews are an Asian people. The white race is the Scandanavians, the Teutons, the Celtics, the Irish -- some of the Irish -- and the Basques, and the Lombards. The rest of the people come from an Asian race, a Zen Buddhist race, and yet the people of the United States don't even bother to find out about...
This hypothesis was originated by a commission assistant counsel, Aden Specter, now district attorney of Philadelphia, after Warren investigators became puzzled over the timing of Oswald's shots. After a frame-by-frame analysis of a movie, film taken by a tourist named Abraham Zapruder, commissioners decided that 1.8 seconds-at most-had elapsed between Kennedy's first visible response to being hit in the neck and John Connally's first measurable reaction to a bullet striking him. The early assumption had been that the two were hit by separate shots. But since Oswald's bolt...
