• Vince Palamara has a new book release
• Vince wrote a 22 page letter to Clint Hill, in 2005 which Hill did not like.
• Hill then got in contact with Gerald Blaine, and this led to the book The Kennedy Detail
• The Kennedy Detail was co -written by LIsa McCubbin, Hill’s future wife, and Hill wrote the foreword
• That book tries to blame President Kennedy for his own death,
• Because he did not want agents on the rear bumper.
• Vince strongly disagrees with this and lists almost 20 witnesses who say Kennedy never said this.
• Vince also shows that the motorcycle escort for Kennedy was cut back from 4 to 2 on each side,
• Also, the cyclists were instructed to stay to the rear of the presidential limousine.
• The motorcade route was not decided upon until the night before, and it was different from the one planned.
• The Dallas Police did not know the route until they were on it that day.
• Afterwards the assistant police chief complained about the lack of preparation and precautions
• Kennedy’s regular driver, Tom Shipman, died the month before at Camp David.
• Bill Greer did not speed up after the first volley, and he turned to look at JFK twice in the back seat.
