Lee Harvey Oswald As A Sole Assassin : A 13 page
paper that presents both sides of the case and dismisses the conspiracy theory for the
following reasons: none of the conspiracy arguments match, they are disjointed and if true

agents as CIA agents, lawyers, private investigators and Norman Mailer. In this theory,
all the evidence matches, with each adding a little more insight into Oswald. Bibliography

Lee Harvey Oswald -- A Victim As Seen In Don DeLillo’s/
"Libra" : 5 pages in length. Was Lee Harvey Oswald, assassin of
President John F. Kennedy, a cold-blooded, calculating killer because he chose to be or
because his mother raised him in a disturbed, manic environment? Clearly, Oswald was not
one of the most stable person merely because he had the capacity to take the life of
another human being. But is he truly guilty for his actions, or is his mother -- a
disturbed person in her own right -- the one to blame for his ultimate indiscretions? The
writer attempts to show that Oswald was, in fact, a victim of his abnormal upbringing, as
well as a victim of a cold and heartless society. No additional sources cited. Libra.wps
