- Some controversies never die; just look how long we've been treated to one
- JFK assassination theory after another. Nevertheless, as I searched the
- nooks and crannies of GEnie this month, I found an interesting paper that
- presents a compelling hypothesis based on the legal rules of evidence about
- events that led to the death of a president. A more recent controversy --
- which has also heralded cries of "Cover up!" -- surround events last year in
- Waco, Texas. This month's NetSearch brings you an interesting viewpoint from
- someone close to the scene who is not aligned with either "side" of that
- issue.
-
- I also found nice strawberry recipes, a report from the president on
- national economics, information about lowering cholesterol, the complete
- 1994 Major League Baseball schedule, resume writing tips, REAL Brothers
- Grimm stories, and yet more gems from all over GEnie. Since those of us with
- modems rely on written words for communication, Science Fiction author Damon
- Knight's no-nonsense rules for proper grammar is an especially pertinent
- find.

- Controversy: JFK Assassination Theory Documented ....................... PF
- ─────────── Page 545
- Imagine for a moment that you have access to unpublished documents,
- affidavits, testimony, and all the hushed-up research associated with the
- assassination of President Kennedy. Would you draw the same conclusion this
- trial lawyer did in his thoroughly referenced paper? You won't see this on
- the news or in government reports, but it will make you wonder why not.
- Published under a pseudonym, even the author knows it STILL isn't time to
- put his real name on this incisive piece of investigative analysis.
-
- Based largely on the work of two agents, one from the Customs Department
- and the other from the Narcotics Bureau, this paper takes up where Jim
- Garrison's story in "JFK" left off.

- A Year Later: Koresh and Waco -- Who was Wrong? ...................... WEST
- ──────────── Page 1065
- The Branch Davidians were indelibly etched into American history last April
- as, on live television, many of us watched first the ATF and then the FBI
- surround and finally destroy a building complex they occupied just outside
- of Waco, Texas. You've heard speculations, and you may even have seen an
- "alternative" video tape on the news. Certainly there is controversy; and
- as so often happens when government and media get involved, we're only told
- what someone wants us to know.
-
- Open your modem to theological scholars who volunteered to help at Waco as
- one describes what they did, saw, and how they experienced this volatile
- situation. While not directly involved with what transpired, Dr. Tablor and
- his friend are renowned scholars from a more traditional school of theology.
- They recognized what the FBI didn't, and stepped forward to help and offer
- understanding -- even though they disagreed with David Koresh's beliefs.
- I'll let you read this stirring, documented account and then decide who was
- wrong in Waco.

- Quick Reference: Grammar The Easy Way by Author Damon Knight ........ SFRT1
- ─────────────── Page 470
- These two delightful files debunk many mysteries surrounding grammar usage
- in English. Writing properly isn't hard, and some things you THOUGHT your
- high school teacher said just aren't so.
-
- Do you practrically panic writing a sentence with 'lay' in it? Are there
- times you'll use ANY other word rather than try to figure out whether you
- should use 'lay' or 'lie'? How often have you looked at a complicated
- sentence and tried to puzzle out whether the verb should be plural or
- singular? Did you know there's a quick test you can use to determine when
- to use 'which' or 'that'?
-
- Damon Knight, noted Science Fiction writer and member of the Science
- Fiction RoundTable, has uploaded two small files of solutions and tests for
- these common errors and others. I recommend these easy-to-understand files
- to anyone who writes letters, memos, faxes, messages or papers. Students
- will find them of particular value. Print them and put them inside your
- dictionary or some other handy place, and keep them ready for reference.
- Thank you, Mr. Knight!
