Why Lee Harvey Oswald Doesn’t Matter That Much

April 9th - via: kickstarter.com
More has been written about Lee Harvey Oswald than most American presidents. Every tiny bit of his life has been dissected, and there has been endless speculation on his motivations in both non-fiction and fiction. For me, much of this psychoanalysis... (Read More)
