...When Ray Marcus got wind several weeks ago of a photographic study "disproving" the existence of a second Kennedy assassin (seen as a white blotch that resembled a gunman atop a station wagon), he instantly telephoned the authors of the study, a corporation called ITEK. He told them he was just a half-hour away from their offices in Lexington and was prepared to show them another possible assassin further to the right in the same picture. The man from ITEK said he was interested and would call Marcus back...
...Marcus it was a familiar experience. Like the other amateur sleuths enveloped in the Kennedy assassination (a small band whose numbers are impossible to determine), he has grown accustomed to a disinterested, onesided press. And more than most of them, Marcus has persisted in his efforts to get coverage -- for a bizzare compilation of photographic evidence (see pictures and description pp. 9 and 11) suggesting a great deal but, even by his own admission, proving nothing...
...Marcus says he first became interested in the photographs "three or four days" after the assassination. He followed closely as the newspapers and the government slowly shifted from entrance wound to exit wound and to the remarkable "single-bullet" theory...
...When you started clipping stuff," says Marcus, "you saw that somebody was lying." Of course not everyone who sensed contradictions in the weeks following President Kennedy's assassination proceeded to devote the next three years to intensive study of it. Marcus never really explains why the subject so fascinated him, and still does now. But if he's right, even in part, then maybe the rest of us owe him the explanations...

A Dallas woman who no longer lists her telephone number -- Mary Anne Moorman -- took the photograph moments after the fatal bullet struck President Kennedy. Lifton and Marcus observed a total of five possible human images behind the wall in the background, including two (designated nos. 2 and 5) in which one can see a suggestion of a gun. Although the other three images are more questionable, Marcus...
