Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Jack White maintained that if you use the length of the newspaper as a yardstick that you could determine that the height of the man in the backyard photo was only 5'6", and he looks it.

But, you can also use the rifle as a measuring stick. It was 3 feet long, and with that in mind, and in your mind's eye turning it vertical, you can see that that guy was only 5'6". Oswald, of course, was 5'9". 

But, we can do the same thing with the photo of Lee from Robert Oswald's book in which he is holding a rifle.

Of course, you would have to fill out the rifle and fill out Lee. But, if you did that, I do believe that you would be forced to admit that this guy was 5'11".
