  • Case Closed Or Evidence Ignored? John H. Davis
    CASE CLOSED OR EVIDENCE IGNORED? JOHN H. DAVIS CASE CLOSED OR EVIDENCE IGNORED? Gerald Posner's book, CASE CLOSED - Lee Harvey Oswald and The Assassination of JFK, is essentially a lawyer's prosecutorial brief against Oswald as the lone, unaided assassin of President Kennedy, emphasizing the slender evidence for his sole guilt, and downplaying, even ignoring, the substantial body of evidence that suggests he might have had confederates. The book contains nothing new except a wildly implausible theory of the first shot fired at the presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza. Essentially the book is a re-hash of a thirty-year-old discredited theory that repeats many of the failings of the Warren Commission's deeply flawed 1964 investigation. Along the way Mr. Posner is guilty of gross misstatements of fact and significant selective omission of crucial evidence. Mr. Posner's new theory of the first shot is perhaps the most implausible of any JFK assassination writer, including the wildest conspiracy theorists. Posner would have us believe that Lee Harvey Oswald's first shot was fired between Zapruder film frames 160 and 166 through the foliage of a tree and was deflected away from the presidential motorcade by a branch. Any marksman knows that his first shot at a target is always 2 his best shot because he has time to aim without the interference of having to operate the bolt in a hurry to load. Posner would have the marksman Oswald take his first shot through a thicket of tree branches and leaves when he couldn't clearly see his target.

    REFORMATION: MONSIGNOR CHARLES OWEN RICE AND THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE NEW DEAL ELECTORAL COALITION IN PITTSBURGH, 1960-1972 Kennethj. Heineman Ohio University-Lancaster he tearing apart of the New Deal electoral coalition in the i96os has attracted growing scholarly and media attention. Gregory Schneider and Rebecca Klatch emphasized the role collegiate lib- ertarians played in moving youths to the Right. Rick Perlstein, focusing on conservatives who came of age during World War II, argued that the New Right wedded southern white racism to midwestern conspiracy-obsessed anti-Communism. For his part, Dan Carter contended that Alabama governor George Wallace's racist politics migrated north where they found a receptive audi- ence in urban Catholics.' Samuel Freedman chronicled the ideological evolution of sev- eral generations of northern Catholics as they moved into the GOP in reaction to black protest, mounting urban crime, and the Vietnam War. Ronald Formisano, Jonathan Rieder, and Thomas Sugrue, in their studies of Boston, New York, and Detroit, respectively, gave less attention to the Vietnam War, emphasizing the racial attitudes of working-class Catholics and unionists. In PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY: A JOURNAL OF MID-ATLANTIC STUDIES, VOL. 7 1, NO. I, 2004. Copyright © 2004 The Pennsylvania Historical Association PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY their surveys of the relationship between Catholics and blacks, John McGreevy and Gerald Gamm argued that urban Catholics frequently did not respond well to blacks. 2 Ronald Radosh and Steven Gillon took a different tack from Carter, Gamm, and Sugrue. In their studies of the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), an organization that anti-Communist Democrats such as Minneapolis mayor Hubert Humphrey had helped create in I947, Radosh and Gillon examined the middle-class activists who rejected America's anti-Communist foreign policy and the racial conservatism of many unionists.

  • The Nevada Test Site and the Socializing Practices of a Nuclearized World
    C H A P T E R 1 The Nevada Test Site and the Socializing Practices of a Nuclearized World The Nevada Test Site is a devastatingly holy place. —Anne Symens-Bucher1 “So this is how it feels,” Mary Ann Cejka thought, as she stared down at the handcuffs loosely fastened about her wrists. Writing about the act of nonviolent civil disobedience she took part in at the Nevada Test Site the first week of January, 1986, Ms. Cejka mused how, strangely, “I felt perfectly calm as I waited my turn to be frisked by a female official from the U.S. Department of Energy.”2 A campus minis- ter at California State University Long Beach at the time, Cejka had been drawn by a compelling sense of urgency to take nonviolent action at the United States’ nuclear proving ground sixty-five miles north of Las Vegas. Concerned about what she perceived as the increasing threat of nuclear war, Cejka decided to take part in the Nevada Desert Experience “New Year’s” ritual of prayer and nonviolent witness. Driving east from Southern California across the Mojave Desert and then skirting Death Valley, Cejka had arrived at St. James Catholic Church in Las Vegas the day before the activities at the test site began. She joined nearly two hundred people in preparation for their journey to a site where the United States and Britain had detonated hundreds of nuclear bombs. They participated in a nonviolence training that set the tone for the peace witness and prepared some of them to risk arrest.
