Fair Play Issue #5, July-August, 1995
In This Fair Play...
- ARRB In New Orleans The Assassination Records Review Board held a public hearing in New Orleans in late June. Joseph Backes attended, and filed this report.
- ARRB Releases Classified Info The released material is from the CIA's files on Lee Harvey Oswald. No word yet, except in the most general of terms, on what those records consist of.
- ARRB: The Official Poop An introduction to the Assassination Records Review Board, list of Board members, and some official stuff straight from the horsie's mouth.
- ARRB: Purpose and Background This article, reprinted from COPA's Open Secrets newsletter, describes the ARRB's outgrowth from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. There's some legalese here, but some solid information, too.
- The HSCA and JFK's Skull Wound Newly released documents seem to iron out discrepancies between what Parkland and Bethesda doctors reported seeing. Article by Gary Aguilar, M.D.
- What Struck John In this re-interpretation of the medical evidence, author Joseph N. Riley, Ph.D, seeks to demonstrate that JFK was hit in the head by two bullets fired by different assassins. (Note: There are quite a few .gifs accompanying this article. We've tried to keep them as small as possible but it still may take a while to load into your Web browser.)
- Conspiracy Proven? The proof may be in the pictures. A new analysis of the Zapruder film has led some researchers to a startling conclusion. Article by Robert Harris.
- The Mystery of David Ferrie A profile of one of the most mysterious figures connected to the assassination, by John S. Craig.
- Dan Rather Blinked Facing the biggest story of his journalistic career, Dan Rather ran in the opposite direction. This article, which first appeared in 1977, was written by Penn Jones, Jr., and among other things examines Rather's errant description of the Zapruder film.
- Miscellanea, Errata, Et Cetera A variety of stuff that didn't fit anywhere else, including reviews, excerpts from Warren Commission documents, and some Conspiracy Classics culled from thirty years of Warren Commission criticism.
- Who's Who and What's What What organizations are actively working toward resolving the JFK case? Where can you locate that hard-to-find assassination title? Fair Play presents a catalogue of the sources and resources we're aware of.
- JFK Bibliography A listing of books relating to the Kennedy assassination.
- Reader Feedback A sampling of reader reaction to Fair Play, which first came online November 22, 1994.
- Excuses Those of us responsible for Fair Play.
