12:21 - 12:35. Kind of gave me chills just because of what happened 6 years later. (Now conspiracy theorists will say Mailer did 9/11) Norman Mailer does have a great way with words. I love how he described the 26 volumes, although i would add that going down an investigatory path, but it leads to a dead end, they were justified in leaving it in the 26 volumes. If they were to omit it, then researchers in the future could falsely conclude the commission didnt follow an obvious lead. As for his final description of Oswald....brilliant. i love how he described oswald as a spy, but in reality was a spy for himself. He didnt plot the killing alone, but he conspred...with himself.
Yes, Mailer is brilliant. As Oswald being a spy and conspiring with himself- exactly what Jim Moore thought a few years earlier by titling his book, "Conspriacy of One"
