... scheduled to show reports material
implicating his father, Roscoe Anthony White, in the 1963 assassination. It

team of three shooters, that he fired two of the three bullets that killed
the president, and that he also killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit

Two perceptual phenomena--persistence of vision and the critical flicker
frequency--cause a continuous image. Persistence of a vision is the

frequency is the minimum rate of interruption of the projected light beam
that will not cause the motion picture to appear to flicker. A frequency
above about 48 interruptions a second will eliminate flicker.

Faustus
... However, when considering the fact that he died for the sake of gaining knowledge, pushing the limits of what is possible in spite of obvious limitations and, eventually, paying the ultimate penalty, he could be considered a Renaissance martyr.

However, the idea of considering him a martyr has many flaws, several of which are evident when considering who was before he turned to necromancy and what he did once he obtained the powers of the universe.
