Issue 36

News: Oswald alone? I doubt it.
November 22, 1963. A day which will live in infamy. Just before 12:30 PM (Central time), The president was killed. Later that day, a man named Oswald was arrested in connection with these events. A few days later another man killed the assassin. But was the version we are told to believe actually true? I believe that there were a number of factors which helped contribute to the assassination, mostly coming from the government. One major thing was the fact that the person who had the most to gain was LBJ, because he would wind up with the presidency, and it was known that he was going to be dropped from the vice-presidential ballot in the next election. Another thing to note was that even in 1963, we had troops in Vietnam, although we were only there for a police action at that point, and Kennedy intended to get the USA out of Vietnam starting 1965, before it became the atrocity it eventually did become. Johnson, however, escalated US conflict in Vietnam by the time Kennedy had intended to bring the boys home. Of course, there is also one other thing to note: Jack ruby, the assassin's assassin, worked for the FBI for several years as an informant. My take on Oswald's assassination was that the Secret Service decided to kill Oswald to ensure that Oswald would not blab the conspiracy to the public, in their signature combination of Ruthless Psychopathy and Calculating Precision. But on to the actual incident. At the scene of the crime, there was a bullet which was the only one claimed to be found at the crime scene with virtually no sign of having been shot (blood, human tissue, thread) except it had been slightly bent. I wouldn't be surprised if Oswald was an assassin, but not the only one. But of course, I could be wrong. Maybe the bullet did go in through Kennedy's throat, and change direction and go into Conolly's Shoulder.

Film idea of the day: A film which is part narrative of the life of a civil servant in the government, part conspiracy theory. The former definitely not based on a true story.

Film Review of the day: The Thrill of it All. Another Jewison (his third film reviewed here) Classic starring Doris Day and James Garner. In it, Doris plays a housewife who tells the story about how a brand of soap got her daughter clean during a dinner with the executive of the company who created it, and winds up doing a commercial and becoming their company's spokeswoman, while her doctor husband counsels a pregnant woman during that same period of time. During this time, the husband gets jealous of his wife making more money, even filling their pool (which they gain through the course of the movie) with soap suds in anger, but they ultimately make up when they both have to deliver the pregnant woman's baby. Normally, I don't find Doris Day's movies to be truly worthy of review here, but this one is so funny that I just had to write.

Quote of the Day: "My name is beverly Boyer and I'm a pig."
________ Doris Day, The Thrill of it All. (From her first commercial in the film.)
