Fensterwald, Bernard, Jr. Coincidence or Conspiracy? New York: Zebra Books,
1977. 592 pages. Produced by the Committee to Investigate Assassinations.
With something like 600 books that have been published on the JFK
assassination, we are now seeing books that keep track of other books. Two
examples are "Coincidence or Conspiracy" by Bernard Fensterwald (1977) and
"The Assassination of John F. Kennedy by James Duffy and Vincent Ricci
(1992). The former is recommended as a reference work for researchers;
while it has fewer names, the descriptions are more complete and they
include footnotes to some primary sources. The latter benefits from
fifteen years of additional research and contains over 500 names. One
major secondary source is given for each name, but the description under
the name is brief and serves mainly as an introduction for the beginner.
Serious researchers with an interest in a particular name should
consult the impressive collection of material -- particularly government
documents and obscure books, some of which are cumulatively name-indexed
-- held at the Assassination Archives and Research Center (918 F Street
NW, Suite 510, Washington DC 20004, Tel: 202-393-1917). The Center was
founded in 1984 by Bernard Fensterwald, and since his death in 1991 has
continued under the direction of James H. Lesar. Their name index is
available on IBM-compatible disks from Public Information Research for
the cost of reproduction ($10).
