Tell me about it. My publishers, at the time (1972-1996), Scarecrow Press, were absorbed by Rowman & Littlefield and, to all intents & purposes, ceased to exist, at least for me. I had to go elsewhere for my next two books. And, with the help of the internet, "small publishing" is dying out...

You're a writer! Well that explains it. I find it difficult to understand writers. "More matter with less art," as some writer once said.

Is that good? Oh, I see. I had to Google. But I won't admit that I've never read a word of Faulkner. Well, that's nice! You've been compared to Hemingway! You must be the Ordinary Man? I haven't read it, but Amazon has heard about it. You've become too complex for me.

I tried "Sound & the Fury", but had to give up. My sister got through it, though. Does that count?

Seems like more and more some only trust a big publisher. What a disaster...

Like some only trusting a commission...

Seems the WC's output was as good as input from DPD & co as well as how good the WC was, and both were dishonest.

The WC was certainly guilty of not following up on DPD witnesses. Their excuse: LBJ wouldn't give them enough time...
The following looks like another case of the WC altering evidence, in this case by altering the WC version of how many shells were shown on "the copy of the original Texas Department of Public Safety evidence sheet."
<begin quote>
Regarding the 3 shells James Tague disagreed. In his book LBJ and the Kennedy Killing pages 276-279 you see why. In 1968 his friend reporter Jimmy Kerr told him there were only 2 shells found on 11/22, a 3rd was added Monday for official photographs. Further Fritz picked them up almost immediately and put them in his pocket, putting them back down later for an evidence crew then pocketing them again. WC exhibit 511 shows only 2 shells circled as the same picture does in Jesse Currys book.
Further, WC Council Belin recalled Lt. Day who recanted his 3 shell statement and admitted he only found 2 (Barry Crush, Impossible, the Case Against LHO, Mr. Krush offers 25K to anyone who can prove this wrong).
Last,the copy of the original Texas Department of Public Safety evidence sheet in both books lists 2 spent shells.
For some reason the WC version has been altered to show 3.
I know I said last, but the 3rd shell now in evidence does not show the chambering markings on the other 2 have and it is dented to the point it could not have been fired in the Manlicher that afternoon.
<end quote>
https://jfkfacts.org/sunshine-on-jfk-why-the-secrecy-around-assassination-related-records/

Seems the two shells Fritz pocketed above then put 3 shells "back down later for an evidence crew" would have all been Carcano shells, meaning all this was after Roger Craig et alia originall found the 3 Mauser shells.
