Edward Jay Epstein

Edward Jay Epstein    (businessman, academic, journalist)

JFK Assassination

In 1966, while still a graduate student at Cornell University, he published Inquest: The Warren Commission and the Establishment of Truth, an influential critique of the Warren Commission. It accepted that Lee Harvey Oswald did kill John F. Kennedy, but challenged the single-bullet theory and cited evidence to suggest that more than one gunman was involved (thus presaging the 1978 fallback official narrative of the House Select Committee on Assassinations).

His 1992 obituary of Jim Garrison recalls the man with fondness, but concludes that "In each of these cases, he had, like a true Cabalist, drawn conspiratorial conclusions by attributing to innocent numbers, plucked out of a phone book, the sinister properties of hidden numbers that he claimed were encoded in them".

Control of diamonds

Edward Jay Epstein wrote in 1978 that "If one man can be said to control the world's diamonds it is Harry Frederick Oppenheimer."
