Very early on a July morning in 1919 Constable Brown was on his beat in Kensington, in the immediate neighbourhood of Cathcart Square. Cathcart Square was an old-fashioned backwater of this highly respectable suburb. It had not been built on any regular lines. Small, narrow houses nestled comfortably by the side of what might be called mansions. At the entrance to the Square itself, a narrow-fronted milk-shop stood next door to a palatial residence. The dairy was very old, and the Square, with its strange agglomeration of houses, had been built round it. Views: 210

Dr. Glasby looked over the rims of his spectacles at the boy before him. Then he glanced at Mr. Anderson, cleared his throat with a loud "ahem" that made Roger start, and said, very ponderously: "Um!" "Well?" asked Mr. Anderson, a little anxious tone coming into his voice, "what\'s the verdict, doctor?" "Um!" said the physician again. "Nothing very serious, Mr. Anderson. Roger, here, is a little run down, that\'s all. He\'s been studying too hard, his eyes are a trifle weak, muscles flabby, and his blood hasn\'t enough of the good red stuff in it. In short, he must live out of doors for a year or so, and then I\'ll guarantee he will come back with red cheeks and a pair of arms that will make you proud of him. Eh, Roger?" and Dr. Glasby pinched the rather small and soft biceps of the boy, smiling the while, good naturedly.

Note: Volume 3 of this three volume series will be free on the 22nd of this month. Also, as of March 1, 2013, due to a lack of participation by those who claim to believe in the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald, the author has decided to sweeten the pot, and the amount of the JFK Challenge (discussed below) has been more than doubled from the amount discussed in the book, and will increase by $5000 a month until further notice.In the last 49 years, hundreds of books have been written on the Kennedy assassination. But there is only one of them -- this one -- which comes backed with a better-than-a-moneyback guarantee: prove the conclusions of this book wrong before a jury of 12 arbitrators, and you get $65,000. Fail to prove it, and you pay the author nothing.As a consequence of this unique offer, you do not even need to read this book to know that it proves, conclusively, that there is absolutely no case against Lee Harvey Oswald. You know this because out of the thousands of people who have read and downloaded this book, not one of them have dared to take The JFK Challenge, including numerous notable proponents of the lone assassin theory, such as Bill O'Reilly, Vincent Bugliosi, Stephen King, John McAdams, and Gerald Posner. Moreover, not one of the hundreds of people on Kennedy assassination Internet websites have dared take the offer either.Just what is the evidence in this book that is so devastating? The answer is simple: merely the evidence of the case, but put together in novel and at times startling ways. Read this book, and you will find out why the case against Oswald is a complete fantasy, and why in fact, after reading this book, no sane person could ever believe that Lee Harvey Oswald could have been found guilty in a court of law.Get ready for the truth, America: there is not one person in the United States, or even the planet, who truly believes that Lee Harvey Oswald would have been convicted of the assassination of President Kennedy. This is especially true because, when all the evidence is analyzed, it becomes painfully apparent that Oswald was framed.The question now is, what do we do about it?ReviewPlease visit krusch.com/jfk and watch the video review of O'Reilly's book Killing Kennedy for a preview of what is inside this book.
