As always, we would like to acknowledge those who have helped make this Web site what it is. Special thanks to Deanie Richards of The JFK Place, who encourages input to her gopher site; Deanie has generously made disk space available for our new Fair Play archive.
A word of caution about that archive: we've had some interesting trials and tribulations in setting it up, and have yet to work all the bugs out. Thus far editor Kelin has viewed the archive through Netscape on three platforms: Macintosh, IBM, and a Sun SPARCstation. All the text is there, but the graphics are a bit spotty. In all cases, the main "Fair Play" graphic will not display. This may be because it is in JPEG format, although we aren't sure about that. From the Mac, most of the photographs dislayed. But from the IBM and the SPARC, none of them did. Go figure that one out! Frankly, we're baffled. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll work it out one of these days...
Fair Play was founded in 1994 by John Kelin and Lalo J. Gastriani. We regard it as 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 query first) to the following address:

Fair Play was flattered to have been rated among the top five percent of all sites on the Web. The rating came from an outfit called Point Survey, who describe themselves thusly: "Point is a free service which rates and reviews only the best sites on the World Wide Web. We provide surfers with a standard of excellence: a catalog of the most lively, useful, and fun sites on the Net."
Fair Play was also flattered to have been chosen a Cool Site of the Day on November 22, 1994. If you've not yet checked out this site, we suggest you do.
Editor Kelin has a tendency to adopt an editorial "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 editor has also been known to use the nom de plume, "Lionel Mirthmint." As if he were fooling anybody!
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.
