134. Thanks, nomatrix! Sorry, haven't read that one...
... but I do appreciate the author and what his work represents. These turds and slugs are lower than whale dung. Here's the thing that bothers me the most of that day. LBJ disgustingly forced Jackie to watch him take the oath of office on Air Force One.



Afterward, LBJ turns to some Congressmen, who's winking at him.





The Wink*

*From Steamshovel Press #12: An example of the weird mix of brilliant
technical detail and lousy assassination history comes early in the book
when Trask interviews
White House photographer Cecil Stroughton about the swearing-in of
LBJ. Trask virtually pinpoints the exact frame in which Stroughton
switches from his Alpha to his Hasselblad camera. The images are
beautifully reproduced from the contact prints, save one that Trask
explains as being reproduced from a copy negative. This is the
"wink" photograph, a shot of LBJ receiving a wink from Congressman
Albert Thomas after the swearing-in, with all the onerous
implications it has in David Lifton's Best Evidence, where
the photo appeared in 1980. Trask supplies no reason why this
particular negative original is missing, no indication that he asked
Stoughton about it, no suggestion that he is even aware of its
controversy, despite references to Lifton in the same chapter.
