ps my dad grew up with Bob Dole in Russell ~ back long ago when Bob's family was poor & our family was one of rich family's there...& I still have his letter to me after Reagan was shot by Bush Sr. buddy's son:>)
This book written by one of my very favorite Professors ~ & a former Denver Post editor, too ~ at U Of Montana!
"THE AFTERNOON OF MARCH 30", is the story of a Montana newspaperman who is at first puzzled, then curious, then finally outraged by what the national news media never told the American people about the attempt of John W. Hinckley Jr. to assassinate the president of the United States.
It is a real-life mystery story, a detective story, a newspaper story, a spy story and more than one love story. It is a polemic that explores the strange "coincidences," curious "happenstances," major discrepancies, critical omissions and possible covert disinformation activities in the wake of a bullet that came within an inch of changing the course of history. It is a story of a journalist's fierce devotion to the American ideals of freedom and justice. It is a different kind of roman clef.
Even more dangerous for the future of our country than a conspiracy to assassinate a president is a conspiracy to manipulate and control what the American people are told by the national news media. This book--among much else--examines the official cover-up of vital information that left scores of unanswered questions surrounding the event of the afternoon of March 30, 1981. From the book, page 6:
When it happened it was beyond the grotesque. For seconds Jonathan Blakely was stunned. John Chancellor, eyebrows raised, informed the viewers of NBC Nightly News that the brother of the man who tried to kill the president was acquainted with the son of the man who would have become president if the attack had been successful. As a matter of fact, Chancellor said in a bewildered tone, Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had been scheduled to have dinner together at the home of the vice president's son the very next night. And, of course, the engagement had been canceled. . .
Then a peculiar thing happened: The story vanished. To this day, it has never been reported in the New York Times, Washington Post or many other metropolitan newspapers, never again mentioned by any of the television news networks, and never noted in news magazines except for a brief mention in Newsweek, which lumped it with two ludicrous conspiracy scenarios as if the Bush-Hinckley connection didn't deserve some sort of explanation. [See Newsweek SIDEBAR below]
But many other significant facts concerning the Bush and Hinckley families have remained unexplored and unexplained, in addition to other matters related to the assassination attempt detailed in this book. For examples:

Petrofraud and the New Depression
Petrofraud is a word I coined to describe the the great con job that is the Bush administration's policy - that policy is the only policy they have or have ever had, with respect to energy, foreign affairs, war and our economy. All of it has been about oil. And the present speculative bubble is the crowning achievement of the scheme.
They are laughing all the way to their banks in Dubai, Switzerland, and, no doubt, Paraguay. A superb assessment of the pathology of this sociopathic bunch can be found in Charley Reese's chilling column, America is the Rogue Nation, which details the lengths to which they are going - in our name - to achieve their nefarious goals. We are being robbed into bankruptcy to enrich a relatively small oligarchy, within which an even smaller group are retaining unimaginable wealth.
