Yes.  If I'm remembering correctly, he left just about the time JFK arrived.

I used to be fairly heavily into the conspiracy angle.  Watched all the TV specials, documentaries, whatever.  Still have hours of that stuff on vhs tapes.  I read -- not all the books, that might be impossible -- but an awful lot of them.  And I still have probably a dozen of them on my shelves.  But somewhere along the way, starting maybe 12-15 years ago, I, like Craig, sorta switched teams.

Are there unanswered questions about the assassination?  Oh, yeah.  Lots.  Are there inconsistencies and "problems?"  Yes.  But I expect that just about as many problems could be found in most murders if they were examined in this detail.  I think it was the overkill that finally got me -- Mafia, Cubans, right-wingers, Commies, Lyndon Johnson, Woody Harrelson's father, a guy with an umbrella, somebody in the storm drains, a cop on the grassy knoll, a secret service man who accidentally fired his gun, even, for God's sake, Jackie Kennedy.  

Oswald, Ruby, David Ferrie, Clay Shaw, Fidel Castro, Jimmy Hoffa, Dorothy Kilgallen, Irv Kupcinet's daughter -- oh, it's a great cast and with some weird connections.  But it all just came to seem to me like so much smoke.  A lot of smoke, actually.

My mind is still open on the subject, but not wide open as it once was.  Twenty years ago I would have said it was no better than 5% that Oswald pulled the trigger and acted alone.  Now I'd say it's more like 95% that he did pull the trigger, and maybe 80% that he was entirely out there on his own.

If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.                                                                                     Dorothy Parker
