good point, he also believed there was a conspiracy to assasinate Kennedy - he was such a hopeless romantic ;-)

(This interview was conducted at the Hungry i in San Francisco on Monday, March 18th, 1968.)

ARGO: Why is the truth behind the assassination of President Kennedy the last chance of America for its survival?

SAHL: Because the evidence developed by District Attorney Garrison indicates that certain people had to take President Kennedy's life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III. There's been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I'm afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.
