HSCA "Mugbook"
The House Select Committee on Assassinations put together a "mugbook" containing photographs of a variety of persons of interest to that investigation. Scanned from the collection at the National Archives, these photos are now available online here.
Persons depicted range from Lee Oswald and his wife Marina to suspected Odio visitors Loran Hall and William Seymour, figures from the Garrison investigation including Gordon Novel and Jack Martin, soldier of fortune Gerry Patrick Hemming and several unidentified men from No Name Key, Jack Ruby, Roscoe White, and many more. A few of the photos are missing from the Archives' collection.
An index to the photo mugbook is available in document 180-10124-10172.
Unredacted Episode 11: Interview with Jefferson Morley
Welcome to Unredacted, the MFF's interview show featuring authors and experts on the Kennedy assassination and related topics. This episode features an interview with Jefferson Morley, author of Our Man in Mexico and plaintiff in a lawsuit with the CIA over the records of deceased officer George Joannides.
Our Man in Mexico is a biography of Mexico City station chief Winston Scott (pictured above), whom Morley terms a "virtual proconsul," more powerful than the U.S. Ambassador himself. It was on Scott's watch that Lee Harvey Oswald's visits to Communist embassies in the fall of 1963 took place. Scott's version of events, put to paper in an unpublished manuscript available in the MFF Archive, flatly disputes the story told by the Warren Commission and encoded in a handful of CIA records.
In this interview, Jefferson Morley discusses the book and gives an update on his lawsuit over the Joannides records.
