59 Who’s Who? [xi]
Geoffrey Bocca - A former propagandist for the OAS, Bocca later coauthored
former CIA contract agent Hugh McDonald's book, Appointment in Dallas,
which pointed the blame for the JFK assassination away from those who
were actually responsible—the first of two suspect books put out by
McDonald. (See Chapter 17 and Appendix Eight)
Christian David - A French Corsican criminal associated with reputed JFK
assassin Michael Mertz, David has claimed knowledge of a French hit team
involved in the JFK assassination. David himself was the chief suspect in
the murder of a Moroccan dissident, Mehdi Ben-Barka, whose killing was
orchestrated by the Israeli Mossad through anti-DeGaulle forces in French
intelligence. (See Chapter 16)
Truth Seekers
Mark Lane - Retained by Lee Harvey Oswald's mother to represent her
son's interests before the Warren Commission, Lane's book Rush to
Judgment was the first major critique of the Warren Commission Report. In
defending a libel suit filed against The Spotlight newspaper by former CIA
operative E. Howard Hunt, Lane proved to the satisfaction of a jury that the
CIA had indeed been involved in the JFK assassination. His best-selling
book Plausible Denial outlined the circumstances of that libel suit and its
ultimate conclusion. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Gary Wean - A former detective on the Hollywood beat of the Los Angeles
Police Department, Wean discovered how Meyer Lansky's West Coast
henchman, Mickey Cohen, was conspiring against John F. Kennedy on
behalf of the Israelis. In a meeting with the former sheriff of Dallas County,
Bill Decker, Wean learned a portion of the truth about what really happened
in Dallas. (See Chapter 13 and Chapter 16)
News Twisters
Edgar & Edith Stern - Close friends of Clay Shaw and financial backers
of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, and
owners of the WDSU media empire in New Orleans that not only played a
major role in giving vast publicity to Lee Harvey Oswald's profile as a
"pro-Castro agitator" but also later sought to undermine Jim Garrison's
investigation of Clay Shaw. (See Chapter 17 and Appendix Three)
Johann Rush - As a young WDSU cameraman, Rush was on the scene to
record Oswald's "pro-Castro" activities. He emerged—many years later—
as the brains behind a "computer-enhanced" version of the famous Zapruder
film of the JFK assassination that author Gerald Posner cited as "proof' that
Oswald acted alone in the president's murder. (See Chapter 17)
