JFK: The Death Of A Conspiracy
... the trauma rooms. According
to Artwohl, “the doctors were not aware of the massive head damage because
the huge flap of frontal scalp that was loosened from the head was held in
place by the clotting of the blood on the scalp. This concealed the
degree of the wound. They were desperate to save the life of the President
and examined him quickly without taking the time...to wash off the blood
and debris” (1542). The doctors removed the President’s clothing to check
the body for other wounds. While Dr. Perry began the tracheostomy, Dr.
Jenkins recalled, that Mrs. Kennedy was circling the room with something “
cupped” in her hands. As Mrs. Kennedy passed by, she ...

... or less than the effort to correct the historical record in the light of a more complete collection of historical facts, a more calm political atmosphere, and a more objective attitude." (2)

Napoleon's Career
... Altogether, Napoleon could count on nearly 700,000 men
of 20 nationalities of whom more than 600,000 crossed the border. Grown
far beyond its original intended size, the army was difficult to assemble
and hard to feed. Between Tilsit and Moscow, there lay over 600 miles of
hostile barren countryside. Because of lack of supplies and the difficulty
to feed the large army, Napoleon's plan was simple: bring about a battle,

Already 300 miles into Russia, Napoleon had not yet found a way t ...

... he was somehow damaged. This man, in turn, would not suprisingly become one of the most influential individuals during the 1950s and 1960s.
For a time I held a unique position: among the hundreds of isolated creatures who haunted the streets of lower downtown Denver there was not one so young as myself. Of these dreary men who had committed themselves, each for his own good reason, to the task of finishing their days as pennyless drunkards, I alone, as the sharer of their way of life, presented a replica of childhood to which their vision could daily turn, and in being thus grafted onto them, I became the unnatural son of a few score beaten men.

had fascist beliefs. Benito Mussolini had Italy in his own grasp and made
it a military state almost. Right behind Germany and Italy was Japan. All
three had their own beliefs and goals but all three were fascist. All
