Dear Editors,

As the editor of ASSASSINATION SCIENCE (Catfeet Press/Open Court, 1998, 480 pp.), I was disappointed and dismayed by the hopelessly inadequate review from Ernst-Ulrich Franzen. Apart from cheap shots directed toward the editor which take matters out of context, he somehow fails to mention that the book provides stunning new evidence

• that autopsy X-rays of JFK have been fabricated to conceal a massive blow-out to the back of his head and to impost a 6.5 mm metal object
• that diagrams and photographs of a brain that are stored in the National Archives must be of some brain other than that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy
• that Jack Kennedy alone was hit at least four times (once in the throat from in front, once in the back from behind, and twice in the head, once from in front and once from behind
• that the Zapruder film has been massively edited using highly sophisticated techniques, apparently by the CIA (which had it in its possession already the night of the assassination)
• that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed using manufactured evidence, including the famous "backyard" photographs
• that the Warren Commission inquiry was conducted as a political charade with a phoney bullet, phoney limo, and phoney wounds.

Franzen implies the book is expensive (it is not) and asserts it is not worth the reader's time. From what he has chosen to tell you, that might sound right. But he has not fulfilled his obligation to provide an objective and balanced review. Surely your readers deserve better!
