...really Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, who shot down John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963? Twelve years later, doubts about the assassination stubbornly persist. A five-page story in the Nation section this week re-examines the evidence, which still persuasively supports the Warren Commission findings. Senior Writer Ed Magnuson and Reporter-Researchers Marta Dorion and Patricia Gordon spent many weeks reviewing the Warren Report, examining blowups of the Zapruder film and talking with ballistics and medical experts. Magnuson also drew on interviews by TIME correspondents with various experts and assassination theorists round the country. In Washington...
...that the FBI is badly shaken by the Oswald cover-up that failed [Nov. 3]. How do we find out who else covered up important information about the J.F.K. assassination unless we reopen the investigation into the assassination? Why should we have to wait until A.D. 2039 for the answers? Or is this FBI confession another red herring to divert our attention once more from the truth...
...flurry of articles in magazines -from the solemn New Republic to the impetuous New Times, from the Saturday Evening Post to Penthouse-criticize the commission and question its conclusion that the murder was committed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting "alone." A paperback published this week, "They 've Killed the President!" by Robert Sam Anson, suggests that Kennedy was the victim of a CIA-Mafia conspiracy. The first printing: 250,000 copies. Television and radio talk shows focus on the Warren Report-and question it. Shown three times on ABC-TV, the shocking color movie of the shooting taken...
...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. Those facts were withheld from the Warren Commission by both agencies. A Harris Poll, taken in October, shows that 65% of the public believe that the Kennedy assassination was "not the act of one individual, but rather...
...resurgence of conspiracy theories is all the more remarkable because not a single fact linking Oswald with anyone else in a plot has become known in the eleven years since the Warren Commission issued its 888-page summary and 25 accompanying volumes of exhibits and testimony. Headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the commission included Congressmen Gerald R. Ford and Hale Boggs, Senators Richard B. Russell and John Sherman Cooper, former CIA Director Allen W. Dulles and former Diplomat John J. McCloy. The mass of evidence was gathered over nine months and based on some 25,000 interviews conducted...
