Wikipedia teaches us that the word "history" comes from the Greek , meaning knowledge acquired by investigation. From such investigation comes not just knowledge but also discovery of information, which is then organized to be presented as an account of events in the past.  "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" is book about history authored by attorney Vincent Bugliosi, who analyzsd events before and surrounding the assassination of former United States president John F. Kennedy. Bugliosi focuses attention on the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. In glorious Bugliosi style, he references events from many sources. In this program, we take a brief look at his story of the JFK assassination, but not from a conspiratorial perspective. Instead, we study facts that were omitted from Bugliosi's  book. For example, consider that Melvin Belli was fired and that Houston's wealthy criminal-law attorney Percy Foreman was hired to replace Belli. Percy soon quit after getting annoyed with family kibitzers. Ruby's siblings then replaced Foreman by hiring Professor Hubert  Winston Smith, 56, head of the University of Texas Law-Science Institute. Smith said he would charge no fee. His first pronouncement was that he would ask the court to permit a new series of medical and mental tests on Jack Ruby.
