...Fort Worth, Texas. In his controversial 1992 book, JFK: Conspiracy of Silence, Crenshaw argued that the President was shot twice from the front in addition to having been shot from behind--suggesting the involvement of more than one gunman. The Warren Commission had found that a lone Lee Harvey Oswald fired from behind...
...Death - real, non-fiction death - is no stranger in our living rooms. We've seen war dead and street dead, we've seen Lee Harvey Oswald shot and Dr. Kevorkian at work. Earlier this year, public radio aired tapes of old executions in Georgia, and the republic stood. Maybe there is something magic, incomparable, holy about the live, planned display of the moment of extinguishment. But maybe not.

Also flying into the city that afternoon is a Las Vegas cop named Wayne Tedrow Jr., who has been paid $6,000 by casino operators in his hometown to kill a black pimp named Wendell Durfee.

In 1982, however, a special panel of the National Academy of Sciences insisted the fourth shot was random background noise, probably static...
...Puffy and Jennifer? The people at Philip Morris: Are they REALLY making a difference? Does Elian belong with his father in Cuba or with the Miami relatives? In retrospect, was Ginger Spice's behavior inevitable? Do you think we ought to admit Red China to the United Nations? Did Oswald act alone? Why do you think Nixon didn't burn the tapes? Was Ronald Reagan a moron or a visionary? Do earth tones really signify the Alpha male? Why, exactly? Did Roosevelt know in advance about Pearl Harbor? You think those Sacco and Vanzetti guys got what they deserved...
