I finally read "Libra" a few months ago. Although it's "fiction," I recognized many of the nefarious names. I think it lays out what DeLillo thinks really happened. It has the ring of truth. Maybe Reiner will name some of those dudes.
Thanks, I'm looking forward to checking out Reiner's podcast! Teaching Libra, I started to become intrigued with this all as well. I quoted from the novel in my quote of the week recently:
I was 12yo, sitting in a classroom in Dallas, and heard the news from my teacher. I have watched Oliver Stone's movie a couple of times, and while I realize a lot of it was conjecture, the most persuasive bit of evidence for me has always been this: Oswald's best shot was when the motorcade was coming right at him, before it made the left onto Elm Street. Why didn't he take it?

I have not studied what angles/obstacles he would have encountered if he had shot earlier. It's worth asking. -- Randy

I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I have yet to see credible evidence to the contrary.
You could listen to the podcast and ponder the evidence presented.
