26 April—Review session and Zapruder
film
Tomorrow, Friday the 27th, we will be viewing the
Zapruder film in class. I expect everyone to attend. One week from today, on
Thursday May 3rd, we will have a review session at 7 p.m. in our regular
classroom. I remind you that your critical reviews are due next Monday, on the
last day of class. We will also be doing the SETs then.
13 April—Guest speaker
Next Monday, the 16th, Tony Marsh will address our class. His
topic will be "Myths on both sides of the JFK debate." YOu may wish to
spend some time considering what on the nonconspiracy or agnostics sides might
be considered a myth. I
expect everyone to attend, and I will come down harshly on anyone who fails to
show up. Anyone who wishes to go to the Lai Lai Restaurant
afterwards with Tony and me is welcome, and it's on me. What a deal!
11 April—New manuscript on head
wounds now available
I have placed the manuscript by Ricky Tobias, "Ballistic
Findings in the John F. Kennedy Autopsy Photographs," in the JFK section
under Issues and Evidence/Frontal Shot(s). Have a look. If anyone wants to
critique this document instead of a book, it would be fine, provided that you
understand I will want more words per page of text than you would have to
produce for a book.
6 April—Source for JFK books
The JFK bookseller I mentioned in class today is Andy
Winiarczyk, who operated The Last Hurrah Bookshop in Williamsport, PA. You may
call him at (570) 321-1150, E-mail him at JFKHurrah@aol.com,
or go to his web site at http://hometown.aol.com/jfkhurrah/index.html
. He will be happy to speak with you and help you find the best book.
30 March—Review sessions
After discussing potential review sessions on the NAA in
class today, I have reserved Washburn 220 for 7 to 9 p.m. on the evenings of 9
and 11 April (Monday and Wednesday). Please bone up on the NAA beforehand and
come prepared with specific questions. Also, please reprint the document late in
the weekend, as I am constantly updating it.
26 March
After class today, three of the students indicated that they
had had major trouble with the assignment on NAA. This is the reason that I gave
it nearly two weeks of class time, with all sorts of opportunities to ask
questions. Because NAA is so important to understanding the JFK assassination, I
am willing to give review sessions for one two evenings soon. Assuming that I
can schedule a room, they would start at 7 p.m. and continue for as long as
anyone wished to stay. We would discuss any aspect of the NAA that you wish.
Mondays and Wednesdays are best for me. Please think about which days would be
best for you. We will discuss this further in class Wednesday.
7 March
The final exam has been rescheduled to Monday 7 May from 3 to
6
p.m.
24 January
Sharp-eyed students have found ambiguities in questions 2 and
5 of the first written assignment. I have just fixed them. To see the new
version, click here.
