...WEBERMAN first acquired notoriety as the man who researched Bob Dylan's life and work by examining his garbage. Weberman and Michael Canfield have spent the last few years going through a different sort of garbage, the mountains of paper left behind by the Warren Commission. This debris, however, is far more sinister: instead of coffee grounds and old newspapers it contains loose ends and a few bodies...

...based on the work of Warren Commission critics from Mark Lane onward showing that the Commission Report fails to explain the assassination and is contradicted by much of the evidence. Assuming along with the majority of the American public that the lone assassin theory is nonsense, Canfield and Weberman set out to provide an alternative theory which accounts for all the evidence and provides a motive for the assassination, the most conspicuous gap in the Warren Report...

Photographs of these tramps, who were arrested, and then released on FBI orders, show that one of the tramps looks very much like Hunt, another like fellow Watergater Frank Sturgis, and the third like Oswald. Canfield and Weberman show convincingly through height and feature comparison that two of the tramps really are Hunt and Sturgis. Sturgis himself refuses to deny that he was in Dallas on November...

...assassins-assisted by two other marksmen on the grassy knoll across the street. His presence in Dallas resolves the contradictions in the Warren Report about Oswald's movements in the weeks before the assassination, which enabled him to be seen in two places at the same time. Canfield and Weberman contend that Oswald was earmarked by the CIA as a patsy for the assassination. Oswald, who thought he was involved in a plot to kill Castro, engaged in public pro-Castro activities to convince the Cubans to grant him a visa. The CIA plan was for Oswald to be apprehended...
