For the sake of fair play, Professor Adams et al, Ill accept almost the entirety of your position that LHO was the lone gunman, that he went on to shoot Tippit, etc., but to take Rubys explanations for his act at face value strains credulity to a point where my common sense has no choice but to reject it. Even if they had been neighbors. Certain Tippit murder witnesses changed their story from their initial accounts. "Sam Gold" was Sam Giancana; "Joe" was Trafficante. He cheerfully said he killed Oswald to allow Jackie to avoid having to testify. In 1950, Senator Kefauver began an investigation organized crime and held hearings, during the hearings Tampa mobster Charlie Wall, was called in to testify, to avoid testifying both Trafficante Sr. and his son fled to Cuba. Ruby knew how to keep the customer happy. Trafficante Sr. became as a successful Tampa cigar factory owner. Frank Ragano, lawyer for both a Florida mob chieftain and James R Hoffa of teamsters' union and later co-author of book about his experiences with organized crime, dies at age 75 (M) Yet when it comes to naming the mastermind, he pussyfoots around, puts on at least a show of emotion and says he cant name the one man responsible. Sounds like someone whos been briefed with an eye towards getting a particular spin on a story. 'Mafia Spies': Sam Giancana is gunned down before he can be called Its clear Ruby read Warren correctly. [12] On September 27, 1978, Aleman reiterated to HSCA investigators that Trafficante had complained to him for hours in June or July 1963 about Kennedy's crackdown on organized crime at a meeting to discuss a business loan. Id say your feeling is pretty accurate, mball. Ive said it before, Ruby was not associated with organized crime is why I threw the Warren omission (short version) against the wall when trying to read it. Sound familiar? What I find there is extreme naivete, or disingenuous understanding of the public face of practical politics.
