With Meany so vigorously in command, labor experts say that he will not only stay in office for as long as he likes, but will probably be able to pick his successor when he does decide to go. Meany's most likely choice is Lane Kirkland, 52, now the AFL-CIO'S secretary-treasurer. Although Kirkland is not "a man to set 'em on fire," in the words of one union official, he is respected as an able, knowledgeable and tough-minded leader. He is also something of a diplomat. Kirkland keeps telling people that he will...
...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?. Why did Victor Marchetti, former CIA agent and present investigator of the organization tell a journalist who had covered the Clay Shaw trial in New Orleans that the CIA was very interested in the case because Shaw was a high ranking CIA operative? (Shaw was a New Orleans businessman accused by city District Attorney Jim Garrison of conspiring to assassinate...
These are only several examples of the type of legitimate unresolved questions, raised by Lane and others, related to the assassination of President Kennedy, which point to conspiracy. But before any conclusions are drawn, the questions must be answered. But when Mark Lane participates in a panel discussion with someone like Boston radio personality Mae Brussel, giving the weight of his presence to her completely unsupported allegation that the SLA kidnapping of Patty Hearst, the death of J. Edgar Hoover--which she terms murder--and the events of November 22, 1963, are all linked, he minimizes the credibility...
This is an auspicious time for reopening the Kennedy assassination cases. The investigations of the CIA and the FBI for illegal practices have created an atmosphere conducive to new inquiries centering on the unanswered questions surrounding the events in Dallas and Los Angeles. Lane's goal is to turn the assassination question into the dominant issue in the 1976 national campaign. He would like to see the development of a broadly-based movement which would force all candidates to address themselves to the questions he and his fellow researchers have posed. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Lane...
