...high Government officials. The disclosure that some CIA agents schemed with Mafia racketeers to assassinate Cuba's Fidel Castro has fanned theories about a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. So, too, has the recent admission by the FBI that it secretly destroyed a threatening note from Lee Harvey Oswald, although that reckless act was apparently done only to save the agency from embarrassment.

...Lecturers making this claim often display a LIFE cover (Feb. 21, 1964) of this photo. LIFE'S artists routinely outlined parts of the photo to clarify detail, such as the rifle. Oswald's Soviet-born wife Marina testified that she took two snapshots of this pose. Warren Commission investigators have one of the negatives. Experts testified that beyond doubt it came from Oswald's camera and in no way was doctored...
