      I made the following transcript from a tape recording of 
      a broadcast by Pacifica Radio station
           WBAI-FM (99.5)
           505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.
           New York, NY 10018       (212) 279-0707

DR. CHARLES CRENSHAW:
So I went back, I tapped Dr. Shires[?] on his shoulder and he
looked at me because everything was bedlam there. And I said:
"I've just been talking to the President of the United States,
and that man over there is to take a deathbed confession." And we
both just kind of looked and knew that, had Oswald survived, he
wouldn't have been able to talk for two or three days anyway.

Consequently, because of the ravages of hemorrhagic shock,
Oswald's heart started failing and ultimately fibrillating. We
tried all of the resuscitative measures -- chemical injections
and starting with the shocks -- but to no avail. So I then went
over and tapped this guy on the shoulder and said: "There'll be
no deathbed confession today."  So Oliver Hardy melted away again.
I don't know who he was. I don't know how he got there. The only
interesting part is that I know that the President of the United
States knew that he was in the room.

GARY NULL:
Give us again the astonishing differences between the Dallas
medical team's account of the JFK wounds and the findings of the
official Bethesda autopsy team.

DR. CRENSHAW:
The most striking, of course, is the head wound which is right at
the back of the head at this occipit. It was in the right-rear
portion, in the occipital area. It was about the size of a
baseball. In the official pictures of the autopsy, this wound had
vanished. It was completely gone. And then the neck wound which
had the tracheostomy performed there, which was an inch to an
inch-and-a-half -- smooth, sharp edges, EVEN when the
tracheostomy tube was removed. This is now gaping, irregular and
was three inches in length [in the Bethesda autopsy].

GARY NULL:
The Parkland Hospital's nervousness about residents treating the
President, which resulted in the Warren Commission's failure to
obtain crucial statements from the attending medical staff ....
Would you give us some background on this please?

DR. CRENSHAW:
Well, basically, there were thirty visits, twenty-four of them by
the Secret Service and six by the FBI, in which they talked to
different physicians and nurses there. And it's interesting that
not ONE of these conversations was given to the Warren Commission.

GARY NULL:
Not one of thirty?

DR.CRENSHAW:
Not one!

GARY NULL:
What does that tell you?  What does that imply?

DR. CRENSHAW:
It would imply that they didn't want to hear any contradictory
remarks.

GARY NULL:
Alright.  What is your feeling about Robert Kennedy's involvement
in any possible cover-up?

DR. CRENSHAW:
I've always felt that maybe he wanted to become president so that
he could reopen this investigation. Three days before HIS
assassination, in a small community college, he announced to
everyone that only the power of the Presidency could unravel the
mystery of his brother's death. And he was, of course, assassinated
then. But immediately, Mrs. Lincoln, John Fitzgerald Kennedy's
secretary, called Senator Ted Kennedy and told him of artifacts
that the Kennedy Family had in their possession. And he told her
not to worry; that everything was taken care of. So the implication
has been that the attorney-general or Senator Kennedy, at that
time, did have important information that he had sequestered
there, so that, if it were at all possible, he could
reopen this investigation.

GARY NULL:
And lastly, Jacqueline Kennedy's immediate reactions and behavior
following the shooting?

DR. CRENSHAW:
I thought Mrs. Kennedy was very regal. She was standing there
initially. We asked her to sit outside the room. And then, of
course, after his death we did not officially pronounce him dead
because of her request for a priest and the last rites. The
priest arrived, and she walked into the room after him. We had
pulled the sheet up. It was a little short. She stopped at the
foot and kissed his great toe, and then went forward and stood
there holding his right hand, listening to the last rites.
Immediately after that, she took her wedding ring off and placed
it on the President's little finger. It would not go past the
knuckle, and so when she came in, after they had had the harangue
about the autopsy, and before we placed him in the coffin, one of
our orderlies there -- I believe it was Aubrey Wright -- helped
her get the ring on his small finger.

I had read many accounts of how their marriage was just that, in
name only. But being in trauma surgery now for thirty years, I
have seen grievances and unhappiness and definite examples of
removing the facade of what one felt. And I still will always
believe that there was no greater example of genuine and intense
love for the President than that exhibited by Mrs. Kennedy.

GARY NULL:
I want to thank you very much, Dr. Crenshaw, for sharing
your insights with us in this special report on cover-ups.

DR. CHARLES CRENSHAW:
Thank you.

GARY NULL:
Now let's shift gears. I want to go over to two other panelists
standing by: Dr. Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics
here at CUNY, the City University of New York. Would you give us 
your comments about the physics of the exhibit 399, the single
magic bullet?

MICHIO KAKU:
I think it's very important when we look at the ballistics tests
that show, for example, frame 313 of the Zapruder film which
clearly shows the President's head going to the rear, which
indicates that a bullet came from the front. Now in the Warren
Commission Report, the FBI, of course, had access to the Zapruder
film and also to the ballistics -- and what they did was they
REVERSED two frames of the Zapruder film to make it look like the
head, instead of going to the back, went to the front. And many
years later, when confronted with this, the FBI said that this
was a misprint. However, the Zapruder film, I think, pretty much
answers most of these questions about the ballistics: the fact
that the head goes to the back.

Now, there was one bullet -- the famous "magic bullet" -- that
zig-zagged and essentially reversed direction about seven times,
going through two bodies and winding up on a stretcher with only
two percent of its mass disturbed. However, if you take a look at
the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle and simply perform ballistics
analysis on this, shooting bullets through, for example, animal
carcasses, you can show very clearly that when it goes through
cartilage and goes through tissue, you get much more than two
percent deformation of the bullet.

So, in two very egregious examples, we have major deficiencies
within the Warren Commission Report.

    Now that we know that they have systematically deceived and 
    betrayed the American People, that they have subverted our   
    democracy, that they have replaced our democracy with their 
    oligarchy, their plutocracy .... now that we know, do we intend
    to do something about it, or do we intend to just lay back and 
    accept our gradual decline into totalitarianism and poverty?
    The ruling elite intends to dissolve the American People's liberty 
    and prosperity so gradually that it won't upset us enough to 
    drive us to rebel. As patriotic citizens, we must care enough   
    about our inalienable rights and about our human dignity to 
    uphold them. As loving parents, we must care enough about the
    the dignity and the human rights of our children to redouble our
    resolve to preserve their most precious legacy.

    Daniel Sheehan and Gary Null are striving to inform the people of the 
    truth concerning the Government-sponsored political assassinations 
    and their cover-ups which have crushed the people's democratic spirit
    throughout the past thirty years. They also want the American people
    to know that President Kennedy was trying to stop the ruling elite
    from concocting a major war in Vietnam, and that's why they murdered
    him. They then went on to murder fifty-eight thousand young Americans 
    of my generation and two million Vietnamese people. The ruling elite 
    fabricated the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War strictly for profit
    and for their greater world empire. The ruling elite increase their
    wealth by robbing us of our earnings in so many subtle ways, and 
    they increase their power by robbing us of our liberties.

    We must all unite in our common defense, for we are all suffering, 
    and we will suffer increasingly as victims of the ruling elite   
    who have never relaxed in their neurotic pursuit of ever-greater
    wealth through ever-greater domination of our people and of all 
    peoples of the world.

    These old men who rule from the shadows showed us the magnitude of
    their evil when they scattered President Kennedy's brains all over
    the streets of Dallas. They have had some thirty years in which to 
    intensify their power by usurping our democratic power. We haven't 
    a day to waste. Please write to Daniel Sheehan and express your
    support for public-interest lawsuits against Government crimes 
    and the cover-ups which are fabricated under the duplicitous guise 
    of "the national interest" and "national security"
