    Thank you for this review of "It Can't Happen Here". I read it, along with several other of Lewis's novels, over 30 years ago, and feel this is more relevant than ever. I've recommended it to most of my friends and family, as it's a play book for things happening in today's politics.

    Bugliosi is full of crap. Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry: After viewing the Zapruder Film Curry came to the conclusion that Governor John Connally and John F. Kennedy had been hit by separate bullets. He told interviewer Tom Johnson that he was not convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy: "We don't have any proof that Oswald fired the rifle, and never did. Nobody's yet been able to put him in the building (Texas School Book Depository) with a gun in his hand."
