...Mark Lane is a lawyer, a former New York politician, who represented Lee Harvey Oswald's interests posthumously before the Warren Commission. He is the author of Rush to Judgment, an attack on the Commission, and is one of the oldest and most established researchers into the J.F.K. assassination. Lane has said that asking "Who killed John F. Kennedy?" is simply another way of asking "What went wrong with America?". And indeed this does appear to be a motivating question for many assassination analysts, which may explain why solid, apparently incontrovertible evidence, like the blow up of the Zapruder film...
...Lane is far from the worst offender. He has proven himself to be a painstaking and careful researcher, posing extremely provocative questions: Why did the FBI tell Harcourt, Brace, and World that it didn't want Rush to Judgment published?.

Arrangements for the tour were made by Chief of Correspondents Murray Gart and Assistant Publisher Lane Fortinberry, with the help of TIME bureau chiefs in the Middle East. For the travelers, the tour provided a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about a geopolitically vital region, and to pose hard questions to heads of state on oil and investment policy, petrodollar recycling and the prospects...
Politics of Conspiracy. This is a three-day national conference on assassination theory, and it includes some movies. Also lectures, seminars, and experts like former New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, Mark Lane (Oswald's lawyer who made the film Rush to Judgment with Emilio de Antonio), the screenwriter for Executive Action, Donald Freed, and Theodore Charach who made The Second Gun and knows more about the JFK killing than practically anyone. At B.U. For details call the Cambridge Assassination Information Bureau...
