...Sort of Lost." Another intriguing, if coincidental, aspect of the case is the similarity in background and character between Speck and Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy's assassin. Like Oswald, Speck was brought up largely by his mother (his father died when the boy was six). Born in Kirkwood, Ill., on Dec. 6, 1941, Speck, like Oswald, moved to Dallas as a small boy.

He suggests that Connally must have been hit by a second bullet, since Oswald could not have fired twice in the 1.8 seconds that elapsed between the time Kennedy was hit and Connally fell. Therefore, says Epstein, if the same bullet did not strike both men, there...
