From the March-April, 1996 issue (Vol. 3 No. 3) |
I guess I spoke too soon in last issue's column. No sooner did I say that that was a "special, lengthened issue," than this issue also ends up at 32 pages. Well, our printer's happy.
But, if the news demands it, so be it. Harry Connick continues to rampage unabated in New Orleans. Probe has been tracking this story like no one else (7/22/95 and 9/22/95), but not even we thought that both Gary Raymond and Richard Angelico would get sentences in regard to handing over grand jury testimony to the Review Board. In this issue we give complete chronicles on how this happened, including Gary's draft of his court statement, the status of both cases, a response by Bill Davy to Connick's media ally Gerald Posner, and actions that our readers can take to eradicate this gross injustice. As Dr. King stated, the right to protest is one of the great glories of democracy. And this one is definitely worth the fight.
In our continuing effort to keep the reader alert to the most recently declassified documents and their significance, John Armstrong and I write on the FBI's finally declassified "Albert Schweitzer" documents and cables and explain why they are important. Two issues ago, we printed the cover sheet of a classified document relating to Dr. Pierre Finck. The Board has now declassified it and we print the results, along with some comments in this issue. In relation to the Board, we recently interviewed spokesman Tom Samoluk and he furnishes us with an update on their current actions and agenda.
In the vein of printing the best and most significant research available, Probe features pieces by Lisa Pease and Carol Hewett. Carol's focuses on a figure featured in the La Fontaines new book Oswald Talked (finally available), Captain George Nonte. Lisa's feature length piece covers a subject first broached in Bill Davy's fine monograph on Clay Shaw, namely Freeport Sulphur, a company now in the news under the name of Freeport McMoRan. But, since the mainstream media exists in a vacuum outside the Kennedy assassination, no one has commented on the strange history of that company. Lisa does, at length and with cogency and acuity.
Speaking of the media, we follow up on the one story that did garner media attention: the death of Richard Case Nagell. We acknowledge the deaths of two valuable people in our ranks, photo analyst Richard Sprague and activist Jerry Neuberger. Also, researcher Richard Bartholomew turns out to be a gifted artist and we feature his first cartoon for Probe in this issue. We hope many follow.
Finally, and to our happy surprise, our catalog has turned out to be a major resource in the research community. We have updated it in this issue and will continue to do so in the future. The interest shows that there is no deadline for facts and, hopefully, truth.
