Grosz, the sardonic sadomasochism of Bertolt Brecht, the tinkling melancholic musical style of Kurt Weill, and the plumpish, thigh-bared, black-gartered allure of Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel. Add a living link to the period in Weill's widow, Actress Lotte Lenya, with her cynical eyes and big-city-scarred voice. Set this musical by committee in a chic-sleazy nightspot called the Kit Kat Klub, supply a rouged M.C. played with androgynous guile by Joel Grey, bring on hip-roiling, braless chorines with soft-boiled smiles and any kind of love for sale, orchestrate...

Epstein discloses that three Commission members -- Senators Russell and Cooper and Representative Boggs -- disbelieved Specter's hypothesis from the outset.

This is its conclusion that a bullet hit the back of Kennedy's neck and emerged through his lower throat before it struck Texas Governor John Connally in the back, smashed across a rib, shattered his right wrist, and punctured his left thigh. Commission members accepted this explanation after they saw a tourist's film of the assassination, which indicated that the interval between Kennedy's reaction to being hit and Connally's first visible reaction to his wounds was-at the most-1.8 sec. Because of the time it took...
