...I was 16 at the time and while I was interested in politics, I had no inkling of things like CIA deep cover operations etc. The newspapers reported on Oswald -- among other things, that he had "defected" to Russia, that he had married a Russian woman, and then he was allowed back in the US -- it was all reported in a very flat, ho-hum manner, as if all of this were perfectly normal. Even with my lack of experience or knowledge in such matters, it all sounded very fishy to me at the time. There has never been a satisfactory explanation of Oswald's status and none of the official story vis a vis Oswald ever made sense. Same for Jack Ruby, whose story was of course quite different. One might ask, for instance, how in the hell Ruby ever got close enough to Oswald to shoot him? But then I guess one would be a conspiracy theorist for asking such questions.
