CTKA formerly published Probe Magazine. Most of the articles on this site first appeared in Probe. We will occasionally add new articles as appropriate. 

If you would like to submit an article to be considered for publication on this site, please send mail to us at jfk2000@ctka.net
  

We are no longer publishing Probe Magazine. However, we will continue to maintain and add to the articles on this site for a long time to come. By the way - if someone else tells you to subscribe to "Probe", it's not us. Rumor has it others are trying to take over that name. We're flattered, but we don't wish our former subscribers to be fooled.

Reviews
NEW JFK and the Unspeakable, by James W. Douglass, is the best book on the assassination since 2005's Breach of Trust, according to reviewer James DiEugenio.

NEW The CNN special Eyewitness to Murder: The King Assassination, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death, was a predictable documentary.

NEW Someone Would Have Talked, by Larry Hancock, does not live up to its potential, according to this review by James DiEugenio. Be sure to check this update.

NEW A documentary called Oswald's Ghost premiered on the small screen early this year. But as James DiEugenio shows, director Robert Stone is no Oliver Stone.

NEW John Kelin's book Praise from a Future Generation, about the earliest Warren Commission critics, was reviewed in The Dallas Morning News and profiled in Colorado's The Boulder Weekly.

NEW We weigh the positives and the negatives of a new documentary called RFK Must Die in this review.

UPDATED The BBC broadcast a documentary on the RFK assassination in 2006. Here's a review.

NEW The best book on the death of Robert Kennedy has been hard to find for years. Read James DiEugenio's notice about a suppressed classic, The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

David Talbot's new book Brothers is a flawed but worthwhile examination of John and Robert Kennedy's careers and assassinations.

A Discovery Times Channel documentary presented new corroboration that Robert Kennedy was slain by multiple gunmen.

Breach of Trust, by Gerald McKnight, is one of the best books ever published on the JFK case, according to reviewer James DiEugenio.

Ed Haslam has updated and re-titled his book, now called Dr. Mary's Monkey.

Lamar Waldron's Ultimate Sacrifice purports to offer the solution to the riddles of the JFK case. Does it live up to its hype? Read this review.

The Good Shepherd is an innaccurate account of the CIA. See this movie review. And the conspiracy that killed RFK wasn't of much interest to Emilio Estevez. A review of his film Bobby is here.

Paris Flammonde has revised and published his classic, The Kennedy Conspiracy. Click here for a review, and here for some promotional material.

See a review of Joan Mellen's book on Jim Garrison, A Farewell to Justice, by James DiEugenio.


The Single Bullet Theory: Less Than Zero
New research shows Sen. Arlen Specter's single bullet theory -- the lynchpin in the Warren Commission's case against Lee Oswald -- has even less credibility than has been thought.

A team of Italian experts just completed new tests on the alleged murder weapon.

This comes on the heels of a new study by a Texas A&M statistician, which was written about in the Washington Post.

Jim DiEugenio places the issues in context in Death of the NAA verdict.

Also see these articles from The Pittsburgh Tribune and The Contra Costa Times.

Report Says There was a Gunman on the Grassy Knoll
In the Washington Post of March 26, 2001, George Lardner reported that a new acoustical study published in the British magazine Science and Justice, "Echo correlation analysis and the acoustic evidence in the Kennedy assassination", used evidence from the House Select Committee on Assassination (HSCA) investigation into the case in the late 70's to support the theory that there were at least two gunmen firing.


Interviews
CTKA Chairman James DiEugenio was interviewed about the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. cases.

See the RFK interview, Part One and Part Two.

New Evidence in
RFK assassination

Two researchers say their analysis of a previously unknown audiotape may provide new evidence of a second gunman in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Check here for details.

The two researchers say further that RFK's real assassin may still be alive and living abroad.

The two held a news conference on their findings earlier this year. More recently, they broke the ice at CNN.

New Evidence in
JFK Case?

A lot of people are buzzing over newly-released JFK assassination memorabilia, made public by the Dallas DA in late February. But in this commentary, CTKA's James DiEugenio wonders why we're just getting a look at this stuff.


Rewriting History?
Reclaiming History, the long-awaited book by former L.A. prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, is finally out. Has it been worth the wait?


Bugliosi

We have a series of reports. Longtime assassination critic Mark Lane answers Vincent Bugliosi in an article called Vinnie, It is Round.

Dr. Gary Aguilar says Bugliosi's book is pugnacious and conclusion-driven.

Josiah Thompson critqued the book in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Milicent Cranor likens Reclaiming History to a crime scene. See Part One and Part Two of her article.

David Talbot, Anthony Summers, Jefferson Morley, and even Norman Mailer co-signed a letter to The New York Times objecting to unprovoked remarks included in a review of Bugliosi's book.

Bugliosi and Talbot squared off in Time magazine. Also in that magazine, Talbot offered a long essay on JFK. CTKA's James DiEugenio found it all extraordinary. (See the review of Talbot's new book in the column at left, under "Reviews").

William Davy traces Bugliosi's twenty year research odyssey.

In "Besmirching History," Michael Green argues that Bugliosi's real objective is to use Oswald as a "lone nut patsy" to conceal the true nature of the JFK assassination.

In a webcast on the Black Op radio site, researcher Dr. David Mantik discusses Bugliosi's book.

Reclaiming History appears headed for the small screen. See articles by John Kelin and from Variety.

More reviews and commentary are on the way.

The Role of the Media
The media's track record in the JFK case is abysmal, and this section is one of the most important areas on this site.

ABC-TV
CBS-TV
NBC-TV

The articles you will find via the above links are a comprehensive dissection of the media and its shameful coverage of the political assassinations of the 1960s.

If you are a newcomer to these cases, we strongly recommend you begin to explore the site at this area. You will quickly understand why 1) the mainstream media has a significant credibility problem, and 2) why the press sees these cases one way and the public generally sees them another.
