Peeking Through Years, and the Wall, at Oswald
By ANDREW E. KRAMER
<quote on>
If these clues the city offers up, such as they are, have meaning, it
has been to reinforce a conclusion reached by most serious researchers,
including Mr. Mailer, who first gained access to Minsk soon after the
Soviet collapse: the K.G.B. had no role in the assassination. The agency
was as perplexed as anybody by Mr. Oswald.

�The K.G.B. understood better than Oswald what Oswald wanted,� said
Peter Savodnik, whose book, �The Interloper,� is scheduled for
publication by Basic Books, timed to the 50th anniversary of the
assassination on Nov. 22 next year. �They knew very well he had never
had anything akin to a real family, a mother and a father who loved him.
In a way, they provided him with a world.�

I had no idea that the KGB was so adept at pop psychology!
