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

The disputed article from the newspaper concerning James Bookhout stated that the FBI was putting on about 20 bank robbery exhibitions throughout the state of Texas. So, I would like to know why we're not finding similar articles in other Texas newspapers. So far, that's the only one that I can find. You can't tell me that the little paper from small town of Marshall in East Texas is the only one that reported on it- that the FBI came to town to put on an exhibition for bankers.  

This reminds me of the very elaborate and amazingly impressive 10 page spread on JFK that was published by a small town paper in Michigan on the evening of November 22, 1963: the Benton Harbor News-Palladium. How could a paper supported by a small town of 10,000 have the staff and the resources to do it? And if they could do it, why didn't every big paper in the country do something comparable? But, I have never found anything comparable to it.

This was a morning paper that didn't usually put out an evening edition. But, this time they did. But just think: Kennedy wasn't shot until 1:30 PM Michigan time. So, they could not have conceived of the idea until then. All that writing. All that image gathering. All that laying out. All that printing. And that was in addition to all their regular work, production and output.

Many of the articles were from the AP, and that included one by Robert Jackson, in which he described what he saw in Dealey Plaza. But, since he worked for the Dallas Times Herald, which was an evening paper, I figured that I would also find his article there. But, I didn't. 

And note that in the image of the front page, it features the famous Altgens6 photo. Aha! So, you see, this is one of the papers that managed to publish the Altgens6 on 11/22. But, that's another thing the Dallas Times Herald didn't do. 

It so happens that the Benton Harbor News-Palladium went out of business in 1975. 

So, what do I make of it? Let's just say that I have a bad feeling about it.
