The Doubles Game

 


Did they get the right guy?


The last year of Oswald’s life is marked by a series of events that lead nowhere.  His stint as the chairman (listed under his alias, Alek Hidell) of the Fair Play For Cuba committee does nothing for Castro and he soon gives it up; his trip to Mexico to allegedly get visas to allow him to return to the Soviet Union hits a dead-end as he never files the proper paperwork.  In short, these are all futile attempts to achieve things that have a stated purpose but don’t fit into the general scheme of things, whatever the scheme was.  Perhaps they are all a series of ruses to build the character of Lee Oswald, the loser with delusions of grandeur.
