Weekend Highlights
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vincent Bugliosi, Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
In 1986 former criminal prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi was hired by a British television network to participate in a 21-hour trial of Lee Harvey Oswald. The program included most key witnesses and a Dallas, Texas, jury. Since then, Mr. Bugliosi has been researching and writing his 1,600 page (not including over 1000 pages of endnotes and source notes on CDROM) defense of the Warren Commission finding that Oswald and Oswald alone killed President Kennedy. In his book and in this lecture at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, he challenges popular conspiracy theories, dismissing many of them as "silly."
(Saturday 10 PM, Sunday 2:15 PM ET)

Jed Babbin, In the Words of Our Enemies
In this examination of information gathered during his time with the George H.W. Bush administration as deputy undersecretary of defense, Mr. Babbin argues that the United States has repeatedly ignored the warnings of terrorists and opposing countries. In the Words of Our Enemies details some of the threats recieved from before 9/11 to today and discusses how ignoring these threats led to 9/11 and leaves us vulnerable for future attacks.
(Saturday 7 PM, Sunday 3:30 PM ET)

Ed Offley, Scorpion Down: Sunk by the Soviets, Buried by the Pentagon: The Untold Story of the USS Scorpion
Ed Offley explores the sinking of the U.S.S. Scorpion, a submarine that was reported missing on May 27, 1968. The sub and its crew were due to arrive in Norfolk, Virginia, but never returned to port. The search that followed was the largest U.S. naval operation since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The author contends that the government hid the truth behind the subs disapperance; an attack by the Soviets that Mr. Offley argues may have lead to war. Ed Offley discusses his book at Prince Books in Norfolk, Virginia.
(Saturday 8 PM, Sunday 12 PM ET)

Stephen Hayes, Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President
Stephen Hayes talks to radio host Jim Bohannon about Mr. Hayes's new biography of Vice President Dick Cheney. In preparing the book, Mr. Hayes was given special access to the vice president, his family and his friends. The author is a senior writer for the Weekly Standard.

James Reston, Jr., The Conviction of Richard Nixon: The Untold Story of the Frost/Nixon Interviews
James Reston, Jr. recounts the televised interview between David Frost and Richard Nixon that took place in 1977, three years after President Nixon's resignation. Conducted over 12 days and including 28 hours of taped materials, the author contends that President Nixon believed that the interview would clear his name. However, the outcome was a further indictment of the former President after being viewed by 50 million people worldwide. James Reston, Jr. was David Frost's Watergate advisor for the interview.

10. Gus, The Theatre Cat?

His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

11. Grizabella, the glamour cat.

Isn't "glamour" sometimes just another word for "sexual purchase"?

"Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin"

Many mentions of streetlamps and such. Whore references. Places to pose, or stop to adjust straps and such. spotlight the goods.

Recommend whores can see their traffic decline as well.

"In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan"

Oh! I forgot...it's Summer!

20. Vincent Bugliosi: "Reclaiming History," Kennedy Assassination

Vincent Bugliosi was a great Prosecutor, and for many years has been a great and very careful writer and researcher--notably with the huge best-seller, the horrific "Helter Skelter," "Outrage" on how that later Prosecution screwed up the murder case against O.J. Simpson, and a book a few years ago on how the Republican Supreme Court stole the 2000 "election" from the American people and the Constitution. This time, with a mountain of evidence, Bugliosi attempts to finally show that the murder of Pres. John Kennedy was not a conspiracy, and was solved.

If any group was ever duped by "framing" and "spin," it is the assassination conspiracy idiots. Tell them "Johnson did it," then make sure they never learn anything about Johnson, and you have the required suspicious attitude; call it a "magic bullet," then make sure they never learn about the actual positioning of Connelly in the front seat, and--poof--they are impressed, they are "insiders." For those of us who have actual memories of these people and these events (barely; very young), this is depressing because these people were loved--for those who don't give a rat's ass and who think of this subject as "entertainment," it is a never-ending publishing moneymaker.

I remember a "Nova" episode from 1988, narrated by Walter Cronkite, that covered much of this evidence very well. For example, the bullet went from Kennedy to Connelly because Connelly was leaned a little to the side and back, to talk to the Kennedys, and so the bullet did not go through the front seat, and was at an angle going into Connelly. It did not have to "make a right-angle turn," blah blah, no matter how cute it is to put it that way. Mentioned during the PBS "Nova" program also, the supposed "heard fourth shot," which was explained by an acoustics buff years later listening to the recording from the open police radio that day, included as a disk in an issue of "Argosy" Magazine, I think it was. The "fourth" sound was a feedback pick-up from the police microphone, and was able to be discerned by electronics equipment as an echo, not a new shot.

The silliness about there "not being enough time" to get off the shots, and that it was "too good" for Oswald to have done, was dispatched with easily, and has been demonstrated false many times. Many people have gotten off the shots during the same time period, and Oswald was a trained sharpshooter in the Army. Bugliosi went over Oswald's creepy, abusive, loner mentality, recognizable now as a typical personality for this behavior, when I remember at the time how shocked people were that such a "loser" had murdered someone so great and loved, Pres. Kennedy. Many people rejected it because it was such a denigration of Kennedy's memory; now we know this is exactly who does these things.

On and on it went, depressingly--evidence, claims answered, etc. Oswald owned the rifle, the angle of Kennedy's head going forward on impact, shot from the back, on and on. The book apparently, is over 1,600 pages, I think they said, with citations and footnotes, pictures, documents, etc. It appears to be an encyclopedia of the crime, with all kinds of evidence and argument of what it all meant. If you want to read about this sad tragedy, this book seems to be the best telling of things--that asshole Oliver Stoned is ripped apart here, which is probably worth the price of the book, whatever it is, by itself. Bugliosi is a very clear and careful thinker and presenter of things. If you actually want to know the fact, this seems to be it, exhaustively presented.
