Grassy Knoll Quotes

I didn't shoot anybody, no sir . . . I'm just a patsy.

I'd never been interested in the Kennedy assassination until '88, when I read Libra. And from that point, I went out and bought the existing Kennedy theory books, most of which are outlandish. But what DeLillo posits - some rogue CIA guys - is the most dramatically sound, plausible explanation for it.

In the [John F.] Kennedy case, I believe the absence of a conspiracy can be proved to a virtual certainty.

I believe Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John Kennedy. I believe that.

The world has become one big grassy knoll, crawling with lone gunmen who think they're the Warren Commission.

I met Lee Harvey Oswald, in Moscow just after he defected. One night I was having dinner with a friend, an Italian newspaper cor­respondent, and when he came by to pick me up he asked me if I'd mind going with him first to talk to a young American defector, one Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was staying at the Metropole, an old Czarist hotel just off Kremlin Square.

I would not call myself a veteran conspiracy theorist. Or an obsessed one. I pretty much peaked on the whole conspiracy theory thing in the '60s, with the grassy knoll, who really killed JFK, and who ordered the hit on Lee Harvey Oswald.

I love talking about Kennedy assassination...a great archetypal example of how totalitarian government...sorry, wrong meeting.

The true mystery of the JFK assassination isn't 'How could the bullet go through two people with only slight damage?' but 'Why did the third bullet explode?'

Dallas is where Kennedy was shot, and that's where I was put in jail.

Dogs would make totally incompetent criminals. If you could somehow get a group of dogs to understand the concept of the Kennedy assassination, they would all immediately confess to it. Whereas you'll never see a cat display any kind of guilty behavior, despite the fact that several cats were seen in Dallas on the grassy knoll area, not that I wish to start rumors.

To this day I have serious doubts as to whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
