      Re formation of Warren Commission: "Douglas Brinkley ... has additional information concerning [Dean] Acheson's involvement. This information is apparently based on interviews with William Bundy. In telephone conversations with this author, Brinkley initially offered to provide_ copies of this interview. He subsequently changed his mind. This material may be of great significance." [Information provided by Donald Gibson via the Third World Traveler website.]

      ... I owe my whole life and career to Gerald Ford. He was a good man, a man of his word.

      I have a confession to make, it was me. I was the one on the grassy knoll. It was my shot, that killed President Kennedy, Not Oswalds! I'm So sick and tired of Oswald Getting All the Credit All These years! the Warren Commission be damned! I took their hush money, I had bills to pay! Thank goodness President Ford got me a job in the Secret Service. Great Benefits!!! :-)

      The kill shot after the neck shot, for me, clearly shows a shot coming from a position in front of him, when at this point Oswald was above and behind. If there was more then one person then you have by definition a conspiracy.

      What everyone has always wanted to know is WHY Kennedy was shot, and if not merely a fluke, who done it. He certainly had a lot of enemies, it seems on both the left and the right, which raises the possibility of some sort of collusion by hawks on both sides. But I tend to doubt anything like this is revealed on these tapes. And I really can't see such a mission undertaken in the way it appears to have been, unless, of course, it involved a plan believed to have been aborted. But, obviously, when your commander-in-chief is attacked, you would like to know where your military leadership is regardless.
