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

On November 8, the LA Times listed The Devil's Chessboard as #7 on their bestsellers list for non-fiction. So, why didn't it make the New York Times bestseller list?  It sells better in California than it does in New York, does it?
