But Brading is mentioned on just three pages, so the Random House
bonfire probably had more to do with senior editor Robert D. Loomis, who
edited a "lone nut" account of the RFK assassination in 1970, as well as
Gerald Posner's "Case Closed" in 1993, in which Oswald is also a lone nut.
"They do that with books," Loomis replied when asked about the incineration.
When contacted by Publishers Weekly about the Posner book, Loomis had this
to say: "All the conspiracy theories have undermined the public's belief in
government. They believe that everybody's in cahoots, that we have murderers
in the CIA. That's what has been accepted, and that, to me, is a crime."
Posner himself acknowledged the influence of Loomis: "His effort on this one
was beyond the ordinary assistance.... His imprint is evident throughout."
