Conspiracies (and
theories about them)[1]

| Assassinated President |
Apart from performing bodily functions in public, few things are as guaranteed to upset as many people from all political walks of life, than using the word, conspiracy. It is one of those words that immediately sets off the alarm bells amongst a certain type of person.

| The man who benefited from the assassination |
I was once talking to a friend, a hardline Trotskyist, about Libra, Don DeLillo’s novel about the Kennedy Assassination. I made the very basic point that all the evidence in the case suggested that it wasn’t Lee Harvey Oswald who was the killer. She immediately countered with, “So you’re a conspiracy theorist now”?
Needless to say, I gave up the conversation at that point, as to her it was a sign of my continuing political degeneracy..
