1. Years ago (1988 to be exact) on the 25th anniversary of the JFK assassination

attorney David Belin appeared on the Today Show. David (yes, I knew him) had been a junior counsel on the Warren Commission, and was then it’s most vehement defender. At one point during the interview he said to Bryant Gumbel: “Brian, may I call you Brian?” Gumbel looked into the camera with a quizzical expression, shrugged and said “Why not.”

2. that's funny. when i found that link that played the show from this morning

i sat & watched it and i think when i heard her saying "chris" she had said the word "risk" and the second time she said "of course" so i was hearing the k & s sound

i wasn't sure if i should delete the whole post or not.
glad i didn't.
your story made me laugh.

3. I was home recuperating from surgery that day.

Later that morning, David was on the Geraldo Rivera show. He was defending the Warren Commission, as he did until the day he died.

His point was that Oswald’s bolt action rifle could have only fired three shots during the assassination’s time frame. He had a similar rifle with him, and he was carrying it under his right arm as he walked back and forth across the stage, the muzzle pointing at the audience. As he walked, you could see portions of the audience ducking as the rifle swept them. It was like watching an inverted wave, and it went on for two minutes.
