So Arlen "magic bullet" Specter has passed [View all]

Last edited Sun Oct 14, 2012, 11:19 PM - Edit history (1)

Personally I think it would have been interesting to hear his account of how the theory was arrived at. I would love to have his insight as to the physics of the bullet in question were explained to him and how it could do so much damage to tissue and bone without the deformation one would expect.

I had hopes that these guys would reveal the insider's view of the story as they passed on. It would be an important artifact we will never have as anther participant in the Warren Commission has passed.

Maybe my kids will learn what remains hidden in the Church Committee report when it is finally released in 2039, I doubt I will live that long, even though I don't remember the assassination.
