Our guests start out wrangling unprofitably over whether Mr. Blakey should have

called Mr. Belin to testify before the House Committee on Assassinations; but once we settle down to the substantive matter, the interest level is high indeed. GRB: "Our disagreement with the [Warren] Commission ultimately is based on supplementary evidence ... What they did they did well; it's what they didn't have access to." WFB: "In other words, if you had been running the Warren Commission, you would probably have come to their findings?" GRB: "I probably would have, yes, on the evidence available to them. For example, they did not know about the CIA-Mafia plots ... to kill Castro. That bore on the possibility of a Castro retaliation.... They didn't have access to the great wealth of information that we did about organized crime, principally the conversations of the mob figures themselves discussing John Kennedy, the hate that they had for him and his brother Robert actually discussing their deaths.... While they had the tape of the recording of the police officer [whose microphone was open during the

assassination] they did not subject it to the kind of sophisticated acoustical and statistical analysis that we did."
