...space of time too short to allow Oswald's gun to be fired twice. Thus the single bullet theory is in fact critical to the whole version of events propounded in the Warren Report. If Kennedy and Connally were struck by separate bullets, either there was a second sniper or the Commission's chronological reconstruction of the assassination was inaccurate...
Mark Lane-and others-theorize that Kennedy was shot from a grassy knoll in front of the motorcade, that Oswald's 6.5-mm. Italian rifle was planted in the Book Depository sniper's nest to frame him, that Jack Ruby was part of a widespread plot to eliminate Oswald before he squealed, that slain Patrolman J. D.

The site chosen, above six others originally under consideration, was Cam Ranh Bay, on the grounds that 1) it could be approached from the sea, eliminating possible sniper fire; 2) the nearest fighting was 50 miles away; and 3) the base is precisely what Lyndon Johnson has in mind when he says the facilities now abuilding in Viet Nam will some day be turned to the purposes of peace.

During July's Operation Hastings, the Marines established a reconnaissance post atop the Rock, and a lone sniper fed by airdrops of C rations controlled the area.

Across from the Rock rears the Razorback-a steep ridge whose sides are pocked with caves dug by the Japanese in World War II, but now occupied by North Vietnamese. Several hundred yards below...
...five p.m., a three-year-old Negro boy was wounded by a sniper's bullet. At nine p.m., a few blocks away, Mayor Lindsay entered Frank's Restaurant for a scheduled meeting with community leaders. Just before 10 p.m. as the Mayor left the neighborhood, 30 white demonstrators from the Society for the Prevention of Negroes Getting Everything (SPONGE) chased 25 Negro counter-demonstrators for several blocks. A few minutes later, a sniper shot and killed an 11-year-old Negro boy from the roof of a near-by building...
