"The Tapes" was Issued in "pornographer" Larry Flynt's openly activist period, which period culminated in vol. 1 no. 1 of "The Rebel, the Newsweekly with a Cause," the extraordinary 1983 magazine whose reputation rests on a single issue. Flynt was discouraged from activism, as you may recall. Well, class come together. "The Assassination Tapes" is an important book, pace O'Toole having been "a computer specialist who served with the Central Intelligence Agency as chief of its Problem Analysis Branch. and worked in the space program." Judging him by a) commonsense standards of probity, b) over time, he is Agee and Stockwell writ small, an agreeable achievement. Beyond the main topic, one should also pay attention to the Wesley Frazier portion of the O'Toole text. Buell Wesley Frazier lived across the street from Ruth Paine, worked in the book depository, gave Oswald a ride to work that crucial morning as on past occasion. The night of the assassination Wesley Frazier was grilled most of the night, let go, went home, was recalled for more, released with severe cautionings. He thereupon joined the military and to all practical purposes disappeared. O'Toole is the only one to have found and put a few questions to him, or to have questioned Wesley's sister, Linnie Mae Randle, with any success. Say, what? --well, you may remember, and if you remember you may or may not credit, the stories of the extra rifles found in the TSBD. The Mauser of course, fairly well-documented, and the Enfield, of much more shadowy repute. Buell Wesley Frazier owned an Enfield. They (THE they) weren't yet sure how many patsies were needed to account for the bullets and wounds. It was touch and go for a while that they make do with Oswald alone. --See Noel Twyman's 1997 discussion in his book "Bloody Treason," his the first analysis this cataloguer knows that makes the case that the team in the field was seriously deficient, or had bad luck, making mistakes just barely contained by the THEY.
