Curious that no witness down in Dealey Plaza mentions seeing the famed
"rifle rest" in the 6th-floor "nest".  Apparently, only a corner of the
box could have been seen from the outside--it shows up in photos.  The
only two witnesses who seem to have been specifically asked about the box
say they did not see it--Howard Brennan & Malcolm Couch (Couch: v6p157).
In fact, the only witness, to my knowledge, who commented re any sort of
"rest" was Bob Jackson, in his 11/23 Times Herald story:  The "rifle might
have been resting on the window sill".

Amos Eunis said Oswald held the rifle with both his hands and shot around
the boxes.

Too bad there weren't more counsel questions re how the rifle was being
held.  Based on the witnesses, the "rifle rest" may as well not have been
used at all....
