Lone Gunman: The Man Who Knew Lee Harvey Oswald
Paul Gregory is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Cullen Professor Emeritus in the Department of Economics at the University of Houston. He’s also the author of a new book, The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee, a fascinating account of the relationship he developed with Marina and Lee Oswald in the summer of 1963, when Gregory was 21 years old. Paul went off to college at the University of Oklahoma in the fall of 1963 and didn’t see Lee or Marina again. Then one fateful day in late November, Gregory was shocked to see a news report identifying Oswald as the lead suspect in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Gregory soon faced interrogations by the Secret Service. Later he would testify before the Warren Commission. In this interview, Gregory recalls these incidents and, as a scholar and skilled researcher, debunks the vast array of assassination conspiracy theories by demonstrating that Lee Harvey Oswald indeed killed Kennedy and acted alone—that the Oswald he once called a friend had the motive, the intelligence, and the means to commit one of the most shocking crimes in American history.

Will listen this evening.
Frohicke would like a word with you, Peter.
Heard him interviewed on Vince Coglianese’s WMAL show a few months ago. I plan to read the book.
the Media using narrative rather than news was always the norm. Blaming JFK on conservatives rather than a lone commie fit their narrative.
I have resented the insinuation ever since, but it had escaped my memory that the “Spirit of Dallas” narrative had started so soon after the assassination.
Good interview. I have just now ordered the book, in hardcover.
