Sparrow also scoffs at the idea that a gunman could have fired from an exposed position and "got clean away in full view of the public." It was Oswald alone, he concludes, who killed the President. As for the demonologists, Sparrow marks them thus: ^ Joachim Joesten (Oswald: Assassin or Fall Guy): "Mr. Joesten's story (that there were two conspiracies, one to kill the President, the other to kill Governor John B.

Oswald's Russian-born widow, 25, now married to Texas Saloonkeeper Kenneth Porter, is suing the U.S. Government for $500,000 in payment for Lee's confiscated personal effects-a treasure trove including old Christmas cards, Russian maps of Moscow and Minsk, his Marine Corps discharge and an Oct. 20, 1963 copy of the Worker that Marina thinks collectors would dearly love to own. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Mighell conceded...
