Hi. Go ahead. I would like to ask mr. Ames worth if he knew about the association between jack ruby and the Harvey Oswald. The journalistic colleague of mine, worked for jordan maclennans case. Said that he saw ruby altogether numerous times talking, so sitting with booktv. Still live in centennial i did so you, there is not one visit in person who has come forth with any kind of proof at all. I dont believe. Let me just elaborate on that one moment. I think that in the response to the comment about the commission that we have no more ability to stop the flood of conspiracy. There is an ability to stop reporters reporting incorrectly. And, in fact, he did not try. He is relating what happens. The commission interviewed 560 witnesses. The sworn testimony on these witnesses. They had to evaluate the evidence and reach the conclusion that there was only one assassin and no credible evidence at the time of a conspiracy. The Commission Members had no interest whatsoever in doing anything ot
Im not going to give away all of this stuff, but the most consequential question is what happens with vietnam and civil rights. And what about the 22nd approach is . They can be a huge debate. The conservatives will tell you that he ran as a hawk and he often said that we are not going to leave vietnam than we would have the same advisers as Lyndon Johnson. The army couldnt get the troops there kennedy was on the phony, are the troops . Theyre on the way. So you have that. And in an effort to kind of bring reality some fantasy together, i construct a meeting in which most of the participants speak the words they actually spoke at one time. I just put it somewhere else. Theres a man, an unsung hero of vietnam, civil serviceman named paul, head of the vietnam working group, and in a meeting with the other big shots had the temerity from the back to say, maybe we shouldnt be there . And a couple weeks later they got rid of him. Now, kennedy was one guy what wanted as much information as p
One ever asked the right people what really happened and the people didnt shut up that should have at that time. And that is contributed to. Thank you so much. The more we go to questions from the audience, does anyone have anything that they wish to add . Dr. Childs . Anyone who has questions, please come on up and let started. [inaudible conversations] please go ahead. I would like to ask mr. Hugh aynesworth. He knew about the association between jack ruby and lee Harvey Oswald. Journalistic colleague of mine who worked for the local station in dallas, one of the local station said that he saw them together numerous times talking about each other and i was aware of you have your own knowledge the Prior Association of oswald and jack ruby. Thats an interesting question. Hes a good friend of mine and has been for over 50 years and ive never heard him tell that story. Ive heard all kinds of allegations. But i can tell you that not one person has come forth with any kind of proof at all
Event. Its ban hoabout an hour and te minutes. Thank you very back here. I remember when i first made my brash entrance into the lincoln field, one of the first invitations i got was from this group. And i remember that what i had to say astonished many people, but they were polite. And steve carson made me squirm for my dinner by asking hard questions. But he too was a good he was very dubious about what i was saying. Im pleased to report that our friend, the late steve, told me not too long before he died, really, that he remembered that session. And he was gracious enough to say that his doubts had been relieved. And he agreed with me what i was arguing about. And, of course, it was as greg says, only a few years ago that we were honored my partner and i were honored for our editorial work by this group. And it was its something we are very proud of, and i cant thank you enough for that honor. You may not think that ive done you any favor of talking about the gettysburg address. Eve
Rev enough agents checking expense accounts. Want government to go back to he tell bills to fine out who was with you . These are real quotes. Now, if the kens were prepared to do this to stop a steel price hike, what they do to keep the presidency in their hands . Some of you know i worked for Robert Kennedy. No public figure i admired more. But this this dark side. They get away with it but people know that something is up. One of those underground things that know. Its all kind of underground. Last, 1968. What happens . So here are two notions. If theres no war in vietnam, then Richard Nixons most powerful argument for the presidency i know the world, i know the soviet union, i can bring peace to vietnam is irrelevant, and the republicans can find somebody who could actually win elections, say the governorship of california by a million votes. Reagan made a very lame last minute bid for the nomination. Take away the vietnam war, nixons strong point, and i realize the idea of a first
