Let me illustrate by reciting some of the facts in dispute with regard to the assassination of President Kennedy. I offer them a bit to disprove of the mystery which attaches (in me there is no mystery, the truth being quite clear) but as an example of how powerful feelings of distrust arise and breed upon themselves, powerfully resisting any efforts to dispel them. It is impossible to soothe every doubt generated by this veritable relation of suspicion, but let me try to deal with two lines of argument which for some indicate there must be fire. Send all the smoke. One concerns the timing of the shot which struck Go. Considally, and the other concerns the famous bullet, exhibit 39. In his Commentary article, Cohen analyzes and dismisses arguments for a second assassin of President Kennedy. He reviews the findings of five doctors empanelled by Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark to study the autopsy By now all agree that the single-assistance theory requires that one bullet strike Kennedy high in the back, exit from his throat, and then hit Gon Connolly, causing all of his five wounds and broken bones: (1) an entry wound in the back near the right arm; (2) a shattered fifth rib and at exit wound below the right nipple and 5 degrees below the back wound; (3) an entry wound on the knuckle side of the right wrist about two inches up from the wrist joint and a broken wrist bone; (4) an exit wound on the palm side three-fourths of an inch above the wrist crease; Mr. Condon engine all the original turbine to running the single hub horse and instead dwells on irre- tractories and ambiguities which prove failure. When he says Gov Condon's whist was only in position to receive its wounds at an earlier more than Concally or many crises. within 42 hours of the investigation one doubts that the FIL covered up evidence of bullet damage, not because that agency is uncapable of firing but because the FIL could not have known what he to tell that early. It seems logical to conclude that the bullet struck Connally in the back and precisely in the place he was actually hit. and (5) a shallow puncture of the left thigh about 5 inches above the knee. Connally was seated on the jump seat directly in front and slightly to the left of Kennedy; it is difficult to see body a bullet exiting from the president's throat could miss him (which is one reason the first-generation critics strove so mightily to keep that bullet from coming through). If the bullet did miss Connally, it could not have missed the interior of the open car, and the absence of any damage to the car caused by a high-speed bullet, barely slowed by its passage through the president's neck, argues strongly that the bullet in fact struck Connally. The car was thoroughly examined by the FILI The ambiguity fastened on by the entities arises because the famous Zaprucer film of the motorcade seems to show Connally being well after Kennedy but too soon after to allow for the possibility that he was struck by a second shot from the ... he lies about the most basic facts and deliberately suppresses information ## See DISTRUST, II-4 FIRED! destinctive of his position.
