The vital thing about that show was that it was the only piece of mass media I ever saw that had the guts to fight back against dismal conspiracy theories. ONLY in that episode do you learn that LH Oswald was an expert Marine marksman, that he had stalked an American general and very likely worked for the Soviet KGB.
Two nights ago we saw an Australian documentary that set up torsoes of ballistics gell and ribs and fired into them from the right angle, proving that the "magic bullet" could easily have passed through Kennedy and Connoly, exactly as claimed. What I don't get about conspiracy theories is that people flock to the wrong ones! The 9/11 "loose change" thing was monstrously - almost cartoony - stupid. And yet, nobody will look at the Bush Administration and see the blatantly obvious... ...that their relentless destruction of American strength and influence in the world could be easily explained by blackmail and bribery... if one hostile foreign power had pictures of one man with a donkey. > > Then there was the episode of _Quantum Leap_ where > originally both (JFK and Jackie) were killed. > > > > >From a distance of about 16 years, I remember that > episode as much > more intense than most episodes of that show. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
