TG-

I do not know the answer why some ethnic groups seem to excel in various endeavors. The Jews have been successful wherever they go, for millennia.

Today, in the US, Indian-Americans and Han Chinese seem to be supplanting Jews in much of the sciences.

Of course, Northern Europeans were so successful they ruled the world, and only voluntarily gave up control of much of the planet. Northern Europeans made themselves excellent places to live (perhaps endangered now by in-migration).

The Japanese have created on their islands likely the best place to live, of any large nation.

Han Chinese were successful everywhere they migrated to, often arousing local resentments, as in Indonesia, and to a much lesser extent, in Thailand.

I read that the Jains, a tiny sliver of the Indian population, are much over-represented by the usual measures of income, wealth, professional and business success. They are a fascinating people.

Israel's economy is booming now, even as they have to devote large resources to national security.

On the other hand, Nigeria can literally strike oil, hit the jackpot, have peaceful neighbors, and then become mired in endless torpor and violence.

I do not know why this happens. Even to discuss this is politically incorrect.

I do not expect equal results from different groups.

I agree Oswald is moving in the window in the Hughes film. The image is too blurry to draw any conclusion as to how he is moving and it gives us no indication as to when he fired the first shot.

The Robert Hughes film shows something white moving in the Sniper's Nest window as the limo turns onto Elm Street. Oswald was wearing a white t-shirt that day, so it's reasonable to assume that what we're seeing is Oswald getting ready to fire his first (missing everything) shot. 

IF Oswald fired it half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming at Z-133 (as is indicated by the nearly simultaneous, rapid-but-non-startle head movements of everyone in the limo but Greer), the limo would have been at a sharp downward angle to him, and this sharp downward angle may have necessitated the short-rifle's muzzle's being inside the building when he fired it.

Yes.  The wallet itself remained in Fritz' office the entire time.  I should've said Westbrook, Barrett and the wallet were all three back at headquarters at the same time, as opposed to Westbrook's office at the same time.

Don't be silly, Tom-Tom.
