Over many a dreary and forgotten volume
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2010 8:30 pm
I have finished all five volumes of Doug Horne, INSIDE THE ARRB, and I recommend it to all for its epic tale of two tigers.One tiger is the Navy man, husband, father, devoting six months' effort to get a position on the board, and the following four years walking a tightrope between aggressively searching for the truth, and repressing such effort to avoid offending the defenders of the status quo.I frankly would have cheerfully placed all the autopsists in the Yuri I. Nosenko Motel Six with the light on for three years until they either actually located the alleged rear-of-skull entry wound, or in the alternative, admitted the head never looked so good—nor, in fact, anything like that at all.Secondly, there is a great deal of data including depositions of key individuals and examination of key x-ray, photographic and motion picture evidence. A good deal has been said critically of Horne but I believe Kennedy liked the English translation of that Spanish quattrain:Bullfight critics ranked in rowsjammed the huge arena full,but only one there is who knows--and he's the one who fights the bull.I can't begin to recount all the crude things said of Horne, of Files, of virtually every outspoken observer of the overarching outrage, but I can tell you I respect them ever so much more than the detractors who cannot add.Onward into the discovery.I have being shipped Murder in Dealey Plaza (2000) edited by Jim Fetzer containing a highly recommended section on the medical evidence.In the interim I am revisiting Noel Twyman, Bloody Treason (1997) for the third time, finding the thoughtful steps of the engineer quite preferable to the pirouettes of any number of government-owned fairies. And so, in the words of Trevanian's Austrian climber to Clint Eastwood in their appointment with death in The Eiger Sanction, “We shall continue in style."
