I expected that authors Mel Ayton and David Von Pein would add nothing to our understanding of the assassination of President Kennedy, and that is precisely what they did. I expected they would regurgitate the same tired old arguments and trot out the usual roster of long-discredited witnesses, and they did just that.

For the simple reason that they had prostituted themselves on the subject in every way, and from the very start, writes Jim DiEugenio.
