87 1994 Dan Campbell interview with author in New Orleans and Los Angeles. Both John Armstrong and Alaric Rossman have set forth the idea that the man who met with Quinn was in fact a Second Oswald. One from Eastern Europe who knew the language much better
than the Oswald born in New Orleans. The work of Armstrong’s which I have noted so far builds that idea. See Armstrong, Harvey and Lee, p. 226.

149 CIA document #609–786 says that Snyder joined the CIA in 1949. According to a CIA memo, on September 26, 1950, Snyder resigned from the CIA to work for the High Commissioner’s Office in Germany. (Melanson, p. 135.) Yet, Julius Mader’s 1968 Who’s Who in CIA, published in East Germany, lists Snyder as still in the Agency. In any event, the High Commissioner, whom he either worked for or used as a cover, was future Warren Commissioner John McCloy.

152 Newman, Oswald and the CIA, p. 6. This visit by Oswald took place on a Saturday. In the Warren Report it says that the embassy was closed on Saturday, (p. 705). Yet John Newman states in Oswald and the CIA that the embassy always closed at noon on Saturday (p. 1). Presumably he got this information from interviews with Snyder or McVickar. Either the report is in error, or someone lied to Newman so as not to make this Saturday visit more unusual and staged than it was.

190 WR, p. 703. In Ernst Titovets’s book, Oswald: Russian Episode, he makes a very interesting argument that this meeting was subtly orchestrated by the KGB. From the eavesdropping at Oswald’s apartment to learn about the plans, to having Yuri Merezhinksi and Kostya Mandarin act as agents in the actual meeting (See pps. 248–60).

27 Ibid. Much of the material I will use in this book about the Paines originates in a series of landmark articles written for Probe Magazine by Carol Hewett, Steve Jones, and Barbara LaMonica. This series was so compelling that Thomas Mallon wrote a book– Mrs. Paines Garage–in which he tried to counter their work by, in part, ridiculing the authors. In his mammoth book Reclaiming History, Vincent Bugliosi characterizes this series as “slim pickings.” Yet, the series went on for five installments, and Bugliosi could not counter any evidence or tenet therein.
