\nSaturday’s news will be the 40th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The
\ncommemorations have already begun. Paul Krassner’s latest Zen Bastard column, “Conspiracy Queen,”<\/FONT><\/EM><\/B><\/A> is a tribute to a woman who
\nspent eight years cross-referencing (without a computer) the 26 volumes of the Warren Report
\nand ending up with more than 27,000 typewritten pages, as well as the conviction that, contrary
\nto the report, “Lee Harvey Oswald was set up to take the fall” for the assassination.<\/P>
\nBy contrast, this week’s TV specials commemorating the events in Dallas’ Dealey
\nPlaza<\/FONT><\/EM><\/B><\/A> confirm the Warren Commission Report<\/FONT><\/EM><\/B><\/A>, to the extent that they
\nbother with it at all. Which is not surprising when you consider the excellent point that TV writer Alessandra Stanley
\nmakes<\/FONT><\/EM><\/B><\/A>: “The swirl of interviews, documentaries and specials building
\nup to Nov. 22 are not really about the 40th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.” They’re
\nreally a self-regarding celebration of television: “the day a young, vigorous medium was swept
\ninto power and forever changed American culture and politics.” Here’s a roundup of the TV specials<\/FONT><\/EM><\/B><\/A>.<\/P>
\nPOSTSCRIPT:<\/STRONG> Hmm. How could I have missed this?
