Upton Bell Collection at UMass Lowell Libraries: Lane

The assassination of President Kennedy during a visit to Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, sent a shock wave through the whole world & provoked a flood of rumors & speculation. This speculation was multiplied beyond control when, only two days later, the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald-who had stoutly denied the charge-was shot dead in front of the television cameras by Jack Ruby. In the #1 Best-seller Rush to Judgment, Mark Lane, who was hired by Oswald's mother to prove her son's innocence, reveals what The Warren Report conceals about the assassination of JFK. Pressing the weakest parts of the Report first, & finding them to be even weaker upon examination, Lane methodically picks the Report apart, questioning what journalists & the public had accepted as the truth. What's left at the end of his thorough analysis of what were considered the "facts" will shock you. "Mark Lane's evidence comprises one of the most remarkable documents I have seen & is an unanswerable indictment of the United States government's attempt to suppress the truth & conceal the circumstances surrounding the death of the president." -Lord Bertrand Russell
