As before, we would like to acknowledge Deanie Richards of The JFK Place, who encourages input to her gopher site; researcher Lisa Pease, who maintains an ftp site accessible from this site; our friends at The Cat Machine, a World Wide Web literary magazine, and David M. Stern, M.D., proprietor of the Deep Politics Bookstore. Thanks also to Paul Franklin of The Alliance to Expose Government Corruption and Corporate Irresponsibility for the link to his Web site.
Among the new links in this issue is The 50 Greatetst Conspiracies of All Time. As noted on our front page, this is both a Web site and a new book by Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen. Look for a review of the book and an interview with the authors in the next issue of Fair Play, due out around May 1.
We would like to say a word about the article entitled "A Conspiracy Too Big," by Fred Litwin. We got this piece as an email attachment, written in Word for Windows. That is a difficult format for this mag, and we had to jump through several hoops to get it converted to html, the "language" of the Web. It didn't all work: readers who went through the entire piece surely noticed that the links to Mr. Litwin's footnotes weren't working properly. There were over one hundred references in this story, and frankly our beleaguered typist was not willing to type in all the html tags by hand, which would have been the only way to fix them. Sorry about that. The references are still accessible, of course, and that is the important thing.
We regard Fair Play as essentially one big Op-Ed page. All readers are encouraged to submit articles and letters for use in future issues. You may lambaste us, praise us, or send us Web links. We will run the most thought-provoking stuff we get.
As a rule, Fair Play is oriented toward research and journalism. But we'll run JFK-related fiction, poetry, or anything else of general interest. You may send articles via email (please send a querey first) to the following address:

Fair Play was flattered to have been chosen a Cool Site of the Day last November 22. If you've not yet checked out this site, we suggest you do.
Editor Kelin has a tendency to adopt a first-person "we" when he writes this portion of Fair Play. The plural pronoun is just a convenient device; when he says we he usually means I.
The page one photograph of the grassy knoll and the former Texas School Book Depository building was taken by the editor in October 1993. The line beneath it, about Oswald and the American public, comes from Sylvia Meagher's Accessories After the Fact.
